Dr. Pamela Gloria Dyson

Yesterday I attended a moving memorial service for Pam Dyson. The eloquent and heartfelt tributes to Pam were comforting to me and, I'm certain, to her family. Pam was an esteemed and respected former colleague and friend of mine at Mather High School. I have been proud and in awe of her many accomplishments over the years. Pam was a rare combination of intellect and personal warmth, and I was privileged to have known her. My sincere sympathies to her mother and the entire family.

I'm a former counselor of Flower Carrer Acadamy and met her thur her counselor who a friend of mine. I just wish to express sympthy.

Pam; You will always be remembered by your friends at Mather.
