My condolences go out to the family of Pamela Ketchup. Pamela worked as a security guard for the building I worked in every morning she would greet you with a smile and conversation often getting lost in her debates over the best R&B old school song or southern cuisine. She was a pleasant face to see before you started the. Rest in Peace Pamela you were one of a kind and will truly be missed.
