Messick Family:

Pam was such a kind, gentle, fun-loving person. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known her, although for a short time. Even though Pam is no longer (physically) present, allow your hearts to be forever filled with loving memories of her time here on Earth.

May the peace and comfort of Almighty God rest upon each of you now and always.

In Loving Sympathy,
