Aunt Pam was a wonderful woman! She was full of love and vitality even in the midst of her difficult medical battles. We will miss her encouraging words and loving thoughtfulness. We know that she is now in a place of beauty beyond words and free of her physical suffering. We look forward to being reunited with her one day!

I worked with Pam in the mid-70's when she was a Buyer at T.A. Chapmans and our paths crossed many times during her tenure at MRA and Employee Benefit Foundation. She was smart and well respected all during her career. What a remarkable lady that extended friendship and fun to those who were lucky enough to know her. Condolences to the family she so loved.

It is so sad when a good friend leaves too early. When I think of her, I think of Pam's good nature, her lively mind, her love of travel, her interest in the world. I regret that I cannot be present for the memorial service in person, yet I will take Pam's memory with me where I go.

I am so sorry to hear of the sad loss of my friend Pam. While I lived far away from her, I enjoyed visits with her and times we were able to enjoy each others company on trips and by phone. I will miss her pleasant manner and humor. May the angels greet her and the saints welcome her into paradise. Fond memories, my friend.
