I knew Pam in High School and University. I last saw her in 1980. Anyone whose life was touched by Pam could only be better off for having known her. She was smart, beautiful, talented, and naturally caring. One could only feel great fondness for such a lovely soul. My sincere condolences to her family and friends. May you always cherish your precious memories of her.

One of the highlights of my teaching career was working with Pam. She was an incredible teacher because she cared about people (especially her family).
Pam was a person who just sparkled and we will all miss her.

May God guide you through this time of sorrow. I new Pam very briefly through the sunflower group and she was always so hopeful and so careing. She always had that smile of sunshine when we met. I thank God for the priviledge to know Pam.

I am so sorry for your loss. Pam was always so welcoming to me at any of the staff functions I attended. Her gift of hospitality shone through her smile, her laugh, and her ability to include people whenever they entered the room. She was simply a naturally caring individual.

Hi Leigh I am so sorry for your lost. I pray God heals your grief.
Letter to Pam.:You were so wonderful the short time we meet I thought I known you for long time. Your smile, happy, kind spirit is remarkable. You helped Abel like math that was hard for him since he was small. Look know Pam he is in mechanical engineering. Not so much the tutoring, but your kind spirit that clicked with him. Those little talks, playing with dogs. I pray that your smile, happiness, kindness fill your family whenever they felt down,my your kind & happy sprit helps them lift up. You will be in our heart for ever.????

I was absolutely saddened to hear of Pam's passing. I met her through our mutual friend, Alexis. We travelled together on a couple of adventures and had many laughs. She was a beautiful lady who became your friend the moment you met her. A kind, loving person who left much too soon. Many warm thoughts and prayers to you Chuck, Jesse and Renae. She was a sweetie and I will never forget her!

I can barely remember a time when Pam wasn't in Chucky's life. She was always so kind and full of life. I remember when they were married, I couldn't think of a better wife for my "cool" cousin. Her smile was what I loved the most. I will always remember her with that kind sweet smile on her face. We were all very lucky to have had her in our lives, even for such a brief time. Thinking about you and the the girls and sending my love.
