I was so sorry to hear about this, as I just found out yesterday. I worked with Pam at Aetna and we were job eliminated on the same day. She was such a nice person. Please accept my sincere condolences. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Bakaj Family,
I am so very sorry to learn of Pam's passing - she was such a kind person. I will always remember her as the little girl who skated with me until we were too cold to move on the "pond" in the fields between our homes in Kensington. The world's loss is heaven's gain.
October 15, 2013
Kayla, Emily, Molly, Joyce, Maryann and family and the Freimuth family, We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Pam. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Angel Pam has now joined her Dad and sister, Sharen and is finally enjoying peace from the many difficulties she has suffered in her earthly life. God Bless all of you. Paul and Diane Latour

Joyce, Maryann, Kayla, Molly and Emily. Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel for your family. I have such wonderful memories of Pammy as a child when the cousins would all see each other on Farmington Avenue. The last time I saw Pam at the Kidney walk, she was happy to be with her family...it was evident with her infectious smile and laughter. There are no words that will make this better, but I know that Pam will be watching over all of your and that she is with her Dad and Sister, so she is not alone. If there is anything that we can do for the family....please do not hesitate to ask us. You are all always in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Darlene

Dear daughters of Pam,Your loss is so overwhelming, incoprehensible and painful. So many people are grieving for you.I wish that I could wrap my arms around you and make this nightmare go away. But perhaps your mom's work here has been accomplished, even though angel mom will continue to guide your lives and help the grief that you feel slowly diminish. Memories of your mom's ever-present smile lives on in all who knew her. This was her legacy to family and friends - despite adversity,keep a positive attitude. Bill,Dee and Laura Simpson

To Pam's beloved daughters, Your loss is overwhelming, incomprehensible and heart-breaking. I wish I could wrap you in my arms and make this go away. But, perhaps in heaven, Angel Mom knows that her girls are mature enough to eventually go on with their lives. But, your mom, as she taught you how to live in the past,will be lovingly guiding you as mom, the angel.

Kayla, Molly, Emily, Joyce and Maryann, I was shocked and so saddened to hear about Pam. It's been awhile since we have crossed paths but I have many, many great memories of everyone. Pam truly always had a funny comment no matter what. She certainly had her ups and downs as we all do but continued on with a smile. God knows she loved her kids more than anything else. She will certainly be missed but be assured she will be watching down over everyone (and not cutting any slack)!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
