I miss her everyday, it´s not the same without her here

I´m thankful for the friendship, wit, and wisdom Pam shared with me when I worked in her optical shop and through the years afterwards. She loved deeply and had a great sense of humor. Condolences to her family and loved ones.

a favorite memory i have with grandma(pamela pullen) is when me and emily(her granddaughter) would go over to her house all the time and just seeing her smile and her lighting up the whole room. Emily joked with her saying i was her favorite person. Pamela and her entire family has treated me as one of their own for almost a year and i couldn´t be happier to be considered family. i will forever love you and miss you grandma!

I love you more than you know grandma, you have helped me know what I wanted to do with my life and I will never forget that! Thank you for everything

I will miss my high school buddie. Loved her smile and wit.
