To Mackenzie and Family: I met Pam through Mackenzie. We would speak to each other often over the phone. I was the cook for the Jenkins family for over 47 years. I would like to express how loving and thoughtful Pam was for thinking about me all these years. She was good to me. May the peace of God rule and reign in your hearts during the loss of our loved one.
