I just want Pam's family to know that I think of Pam all the time. At work the other day I was just telling a story of a funny thing that happened. She was a lovely person and a good friend. I still think of her and miss her a lot.

Dana, your Mom loved you so much, and what a strong, beautiful, and caring young woman she's left behind! Now she has a new role, along with your dear, dear Grandfather, your own personal Guardian Angels. Keep the memories of the best of times in your heart, and remember - "the love never dies!"

Pam was one of a kind. I will miss her and our hilarious conversations. She made work a lot more fun, and she will be sorely missed. She raised a wonderful daughter and she will always be remembered. My thoughts are with Dana and the rest of her family.
