My condolences to SEAN AND FAMILY. I had hoped to renew ties during my trip back to SF this January. I regret not staying in touch.
Much love, Velma

I am so saddened to hear this news of Pam's passing...I have nothing but wonderful memories of her and Sean before they had children. I had moved to NYC from SF in 1977, but she and Sean would keep in touch with me with their annual Christmas cards. I watch their children grow up through these cards. My love and prayers goes to her children, Sean and her immediate family...

What a devastating blow! Pam was an extraordinarily good friend. Mostly I remember Pam contributing to the fun times during the decades I have known her.

I was deeply saddened and shocked by hearing about the untimely death of Pam. I have known her since junior high, high school and the University of California, at Berkely. Even though I have lived in Tucson, Arizona for 34 years, I periodically kept in touch with Pam and Sean. Anytime, my wife, Margo and I came to San Francisco, I would pick up the phone and tell Pam what dates we would be in the city and to help organize a high school reunion of Fall 1966. She did and I will always have these memories. What a wonderful individual who always had time to speak with you.
You will be sorrily missed and my love goes out to Sean and the entire family.

I was shocked to hear of Pam's passing. Rami reminded me that Pam and Sean were not at the July reunion. I remember her well - when we were at Ridge Project I found out that we both went to GWHS and I had preceded her. I remember that she loved to talk about their children. I cannot attend the memorial service as I will be up in Seattle, but my thoughts will be with Sean and their family. We will always remember her when we meet at our future Co-Op reunions. Shalom.

Dear Sean,

I am so sorry to hear this sad news today. We have been separated in time and distance since the days at Berkeley. I am very grateful that I at least had the opportunity to see Pam and you again in SF several years ago. May you find some path to peace in the days ahead.

Sean,
Muriel and I were shocked and deeply saddened by the news of your sudden loss of Pam. I wish we had been closer to you both after we returned to CA. We always enjoyed seeing Pam at Rami's parties and picnics. I'm sure your lovely daughters and grandchild will give you strength to keep that irrepressible drive for life you have always graced us with.

Sean and Family,
Our prayers and love are with you. Co-op reunions will definitely not be the same, but I hope you will be at the next one, Sean, so we can all give you a hug. Celia

I am so sad to hear that Pam has gone. She and her smiling face will be missed. Our Ridge Project reunions just won't be the same without her. Condolences to Sean and the family.

I met Pam about 37-38 years ago. I was looking for a job as a Hemodialysis tech. I had to go to the office of Dr. Unger and Kronfield for an interview. Pam greeted me at the reception area, never forgot her round face. She was very nice.

I will miss Pam very much - she was the one who always told me what Sean and the kids were all up to, and now the lynchpin is gone. My deepest condolences to all of her family. Her "COOP" family is grieving, too.
