Proverbs 17:17 says, a friend loveth at all times...Pam Priester was a friend. She will be missed by many because her presence was real! I pray that all who were touched by Pam (especially her babies and her husband) will feel a gentle wave of peace to calm and fill the voided places which can be done by the Holy Spirit.
