I taught with Pam at John Eaton. Her room was kitty corner to mine, on "the west wing" of the original John Eaton, before the renovation. We both had teenagers and we worked late as we wanted to prepare ourselves for dealing with interesting but challenging teenage years. When she left Joh Eaton, I missed a dear Friend.

I taught with Pam. Her classroom was kitty corner to my room, in the West Wing...of John Eaton School. She had a wicked sense of humor, and there was not a day we did not laugh about life, family, our own teenagers and their exploits, and about ourselves. Both of us loved the Vineyard , and ran into each other at the Chilmark Store. I will miss her being on our fragile planet but she will be added to all the incredible women who have made me a better person.

A great loss of a special person. Ellie and send our condolences to the family.

I miss dear Pam and John everyday as wonderful friends and neighbors. Pam was always beautiful, considerate, fun and a really great cook.
