Not sure what to say?

We always enjoyed seeing Pam and Riley walking by in our neighborhood, they were both lovely people with big smiles and always a good word. We'll miss their presence but feel blessed for having them as neighbors for many years.

Dear Riley, my deepest sympathies to you and your family in the loss of your beloved wife.

To Riley and the entire family I'm so sorry for your loss. My interactions with Pam were some of the most rewarding in my entire career and she absolutely set the standard in my mind for a pathologist and collaborator. Deeply regretting now that I had not taken her up on visiting her on the lake after her retirement. I'll miss her energy and enthusiasm, which were so evident that I can only imagine the whole this leaves in her family. Best wishes to everyone, I feel truly blessed to have...

We lost one of the great angels on earth. Pam was an extraordinary leader, wise beyond imagination, and she had a capacity for love and caring to everyone she came in contact with that was unmatched. I had the great pleasure of working alongside her at Louisville Seminary for many years and that developed into a genuine and beautiful relationship that spanned board service, family, travel, joys and sorrows. One of the great perks of knowing Pam was to know her family. The incredible mix of...

I had the special honor of helping to care for Pam the last month of her life. After every assignment, Pam so kindly thanked me for helping her that day. She was so strong to the very end, and Riley was so very pleasant and generous in nature...a wonderful caregiver to her. You are in God's care now, Pam...such great comfort.

I had the privilege of working with Pam in my role as Executive Coordinator to the President during her tenure as Board Chair at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. I admired her exceptional leadership skills, generosity, kindness, and her caring and loving spirit. We shared many conversations about visits to the New Jersey/New York area and all the wonderful, fun activities she and Riley had with their grandchildren. My deepest and sincere condolences to her family. She was a...

My deepest condolences to Riley and family. Pam was an outstanding hematopathologist who always kept the patient as the focal point of everything she did. She was a wonderful teacher and an inspirational leader. I am so fortunate to have known her as a mentor and a friend. She will be missed.

We were saddened to learn of Pam´s passing. She could light up a room with her presence. Riley and family you have our deepest sympathy. Janet and Jim Watkin

To Riley and Pam's family and friends: Pam was a special person and a wise leader in many fields. We at Louisville Seminary were blessed by Pam's dedication as Board Chair and by her open embrace and encouragement of all constituencies at the seminary. She helped to guide us through several leadership transitions and program innovations. I shall always remember her warm smile, gracious manner, and open heart. One of the great saints of the Presbyterian Church, may Pam rest in the peace...
