Denny and Family,
I met Pam online many years ago and we became instant friends. We realized we had so much in common including the day we were married and the same year. She spoke so much about her children and grandchildren, I feel like I know you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and know many many people are losing a good friend also.
