I had the privilege of working for and with Pam May years ago. I got to see the side of her that maybe others did not. When my mother passed away Pam and all the girls came to her funeral and I saw the love and compassion in Pam. When 9/11 struck she hurriedly made a phone call to her son to tell him to record this as this was history being made and as we gathered around the TV I saw emotion and hurt and pain in Pam . I had the privilege of going to trial with her and there I witnessed strength determination and wisdom in Pam as she did battle I remember her coming back from a trip and she had brought us all pillows from the San Francisco pillow factory I saw gratitude in Pam . Our refrigerator was always full and I saw provision in Pam for her workers. These were only a few memories a few things I learned from Pam M firsthand. She fought this battle with all she had and lost but in her wake she has left so much more in the peoples lives she touched like mine. I will always remember you. and the beauty you showed to me.

I was blessed to have worked for Pam for 9 years. I will mark her friendship as one of the high points of my life. I had never met anyone like her, she was strong and firm, yet completely kind and compassionate and I loved to hear her laugh. She was a very busy lady, but would always take the time if you needed to talk. I'm praying and asking God to comfort her broken hearted family and friends with precious memories.
