Glenn and Mandy - here it is 1/24/11 and I just heard the news about Pam. She was a true woman, encouragement and so determined. Her determination to be around to see her grandchildren was part of her strength - she was devoted to her family and was such a positive person. Keep your positive memories, she definitely would want that from both of you. With Much affection and care - Kaye Pluss

Glenn, Mandy, Jim, and Family,

Pam was our close friend and schoolmate. We shared many, many wonderful times together, and her loss brings great saddnes to us. Her wedding and reception in Cappy and Dorothys' garage was perhaps the most enjoyable and fun reception we have ever attended and we will ALWAYS treasure that event in a special place in our hearts for both Pam & Glenn. We only got to visit with Pam on rare occasions after that, so we really appreciated seeing and visiting with Pam during those special times. Even after the serious illnesses that consumed a good share of Pam's life was she ever gloomy or down. Ever cheerful, we seldom appreciated the extreme difficulties she experienced because she refused to let them dominate her attitude.

Our prayers were answered for many years with her survival. Now, that she is with God, I hope HER prayers will be for her family's peace and ability to survive without her.

Sadly missed by,

Roger & Kathy Presl of North Manchester, Indiana
