For the family of Pam Ivey, she was a one of a kind here on earth as a angel for animals and people too. She cared for many of my animals and she always had a way with them. I will miss her greatly but know I will see her in heaven tending to her "babies" up there!

To the family of Ms Pam Ivey. My family has known her for years. She has taken care of our grooming and just giving medical advice for many, many years. She was one of a kind, my babies, dogs and cats have passed on, my sister was still taking her doggie to Pams until she got unable to groom them. We loved her and she loved her babies and was so good with them. What an awesome lady, she will be missed for sure. May God give you the strength that you need in the sad and difficult days ahead. She loved you and was proud of you. I hope you will carry on her legacy at Pams where so many animals were loved and cared for. You and your family will be in my prayers as only God can give you the strength and faith you will need to face days without Ms. Pam. We were thankful to God for allowing our paths to cross with Ms. Pam Ivey. Teressa Warren, the Warren Family of Candler, John, Veronica, and William Long Family of Candler, NC

Susan, your mom was a very special lady. Whenever she was needed she would be there in an instant. I loved going over to see her just to say hi and catch up. She was one of the few people that "understood" my bad boys and didn't mind my bringing them over just so she could see them and help me find a shampoo, leash or whatever I had forgotten on that trip. You know that we have loved all of your family and have felt blessed by knowing y'all. Please know that we will be thinking about you during this time. Love and hugs to you and your family.

She was a force and gave me much inspiration. She always had a kind word for me and willing to help me in any way she could. I am going to truly miss her. May God comfort you. Praying for you all.

No gentler hand could touch an animal but Pam's. She could calm the most frightened cat, to the most ferocious looking bulldog by the mere whisper of her voice.A true gift she did possess. She will be missed by both her 2 and 4 legged friends alike.My condolences to you all.

My heart was so saddened to hear of Pam's passing. I loved her and liked talking with her.She loved my little baby Sofi' and I would drive from Greenville so she could cut her nails. She was my "doctor" for Sofi'. Pam called me several timesjust to check on Sofi'during her illness and death. My heart goes out to your family, with love. I will miss her,but I do know she is in no more pain.

Dear Family,
We are so very sorry in the passing of Pam. She was our "groomer" for years and took very good care of our pets. They looked gorgeous when they left her place. I had a large German Shepherd named Jax and he started to go after her cat one day and she said " NO NO Jax......you're not getting my kitty for dinner"! If you can imagine how that sounded with her accent? That was pretty funny and we'd laugh about that everytime I took him in thereafter. Pam was a sweet soul and will be greatly missed. Prayers for you during this difficult time.
