Pam you were one of the sweetest people I ever met in my life with the biggest heart. You always called and checked on me during the times I felt so alone and you genuinely cared. Looking back, they say God works in mysterious ways and God worked through you to comfort me. You are a strong soul that fought harder than anyone I've ever known, you are the embodiment of a phenomenal woman. While you were here you already were doing Gods work. You were STRONG and I can only pray to become a woman just like you. I will miss those phone calls.
Love

Dear Pean-Grandma Peanut,
You will be greatly missed by several people. You were the kindest most generous person I knew and you always put everyone before yourself! If anyone ever needed you, you found a way to be there for them. It means the world to me and "your girls" how much you was there for us and I don't know how we are going to go on without you! I guess one day at a time. We will be together again someday. Until then you will be in our thoughts and prayers! We love you so much!

We shared a lot of conversations the past few years and I will miss you so much. You were always concerned about everyone else's well being and never complained about what you were going through. You are one of the angels in heaven now.

Pammy..We go back many years and I remember you dancing around with Joan to Grateful Dead in your hippy dress and long hair with braids and just loving life. You have always loved life, no matter what obstacles were thrown your way and you have maintained that beautiful smile and positive attitude throughout. You found love with your husband and your time with him was unfortunately and unfairly cut short. But, you will be flying high above us all, watching and protecting your loved ones and you will forever remain in our hearts. Love you Pam and Rip my sweet friend!!

This is a tough one. Such a kind soul, never a harsh word passed through Pam's lips. Pam, Debbie Schultz, and I always joked that we were the Griffith Space Cadets working together at the Home Depot!! Oh the memories that will forever be. Saying goes that big things come in little packages ... and Peanut, you were indeed larger than life. XO
