My deepest sympathies to the Joyner and McManama families during these most difficult times. I remember a lot of laughing with Pam during our days at UMF, horseback riding and a dinner/dance at St. Agnes a lifetime ago. Pam, may God keep you close to His heart.

My sincere condolences to the Joyner family. May God comfort and bless the Joyner family as His True Words go out. May God provide comfort and understanding to the family, opening their hearts to the Lord Jesus Christ. May Pam be united with the child which she lost years ago. Leonard Milburn, former co-worker. Psalm 27:13-14

The Joyner family is in my prayers with heartfelt sympathy. I had the pleasure of speaking with Pam on a few occassions as our children were friends in school. She was always such a kind person and her love for her family radiated from her. She will be sadly missed in the community.
I pray that you find comfort in knowing that she is now an angel watching over all of you.

I was Salena and Laurens bus driver 2 years ago. Pam was at the bus stop or the door with a nice beautiful smile almost every time.
My thoughts and prayers are with her children and husband at this difficult time. Mrs. Irons

Ahhhhh, the smile that greeted me whenever I saw Pam. I was alone waiting to see 'The Princess and The Frog', early spring, 2010. Needless to say, I was delighted with her company while enjoying the movie. My heart hurts - but realize how tenacious her life was lived. How MORE blessed my life is because our paths crossed.

Pam was a voice of hope and strength when we needed her. We spoke to her about 7 years ago when we began our journey toward adopting our daughters. We have never forgotten her kindness. May peace be with her family throughout these difficult days.
