I only met Pam 6 short weeks ago, but in that time we shared many conversations about life, religion, family and beauty. She loved Billy with all of her heart and had a passion for her life. I will miss her and pray for her daily. My thought and prayers are with you during this hard time. Her faith was SO strong, we can trust she is in God's loving arms watching over.
