It's been 12 years that you've been gone and the loss is still as great as it was when you left us. There are so many times I just wanted to call and laugh with you...we did that so much. It breaks my heart that you were taken so young and that you weren't given the opportunity to be a grandmother who would've doted on and totally spoiled your grandchildren. I miss you my dear friend and you will always be in my heart.

I can't believe that it's 9 years, my dear friend. You brought life, laughter, love, kindness and compassion to every person in your life. There are so many times I've wanted to call you and share things that are happening in my life and get your opinion and support. I miss you beyond what words can express and I know your family has missed you the most. You were an amazing wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. You are often in my mind and always in my heart. Love you, Joanna

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of Pam; I lost my best friend of 38 years and a part of me went with her. We have been a part of each other's lives for so long, I thought of her as another sister, as did my entire family. Just when I think about calling her to go our to dinner or to take a walk, I remember sadly that Pam is no longer here. I just want my pain to go away. Missing you always, friend. Love, Joanna

I met Pam for the first time in the summer of 2010. Pam generously opened up her home to all of Alison's friends for a graduation party! She was such a gracious host - she even got us bagels in the morning! I wish I had known her longer...

Pam was a warm, caring person. I met her through Single Exectives, which she led with great efficency and concern for all who attended the many functions. I considered her to be a dear friend who will be sadly missed.
February 20, 2011
Pam & I have remained friends since Endicott 44 years ago, sharing emails & talking on the phone frequently. Our cruise in 2008 was so much fun, seemed like old times together, after about an hour it didn't seem like we still lived 8 hours away from each other. She was a special friend and I will certainly miss her.

My deepest sympathies to you all.
I'll always remember all the fun times on Alden Road. Joe,our names are still on the phone pole & your Mom wasn't too happy when we put them on there ! :o)~
I'll never forget her kindness during Hurricane Gloria when I was home by myself frantically running around taping all the windows....she came over & calmed me down & that meant so much to me ! She was that kind of person....so kind & thoughtful.
May you Rest In Peace Mrs. Amoroso !
You will be greatly missed !

I am saddened by the death of your mom. I met her through the singles group. Traveled with her to several destinations. She was a wonderful person who always had a positive outlook in life. I regret loosing touch with her due to my own health issues. Although she is no longer on this earth, I know she will be with you in spirit forever.

Dear Family, It doesn't seem possible ~ I just talked with her Saturday and Sunday by email and we were planning to get together again. Pam & I were friends together in Westbrook when we were young and graduated high school together and recently met up with some classmates and she stayed at my home and we laughed all night long remembering old days gone by. This is so sad and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I will miss my friend!
