Well time has moved on but she is still in my heat.
4 cousins near and later we all found our own life. Since Pam's on going, our oldest cousin, Mike Schuler - basketball couch of the year 1987 passed away. So Pam Milburn and I are the last living on this earth. The circle has been broken for now. Maybe when Milburn and I get there we can continue our circle of 4 once again. I miss you. There are times when I think of the family I want to call you to answer my questions. Sending you a heavenly hug. See you when God is ready for me. Love.

Pam and I met at the local UK alumni club where she was a "regular" at game watch parties and quickly became a friend. I am saddened to have just learned of her passing. I wish you the peace in good memories that every grieving family so deserves.

Amy, Craig & Scot, I am sorry for your loss. I will always remember your Mom's big laugh and how much she made people smile. I always think of your parents around Derby time. It makes me fondly think of the excitement my parents had for those big Derby parties.

Pam was one of the 4 youngest cousins. We were the 4 musketters. MIke, Milburn, Pam and then me. We are in stair steps. Played alot together over the summers. Pam and I lived across from each other. It was almost like SISTERS in our younger days. We sang in a quartet at church. Just us four girls, all family.Oh those were the days, and many memories later. RIP in peace my sweet cousins. So sorry the four of us never got a chance to have a little reunion as you and I had talked about.. Love and Hugs to her family. Remembering your family in the days ahead.

Pam was my cousin. We were not close through much of our life. But I have many memories of her in my early life and was blessed by her friendship from afar in her late life. She is a blessing to her family and they were definitely the joy and heart of her life.
