Dear Don, Becky, Christy, and Lisa,

We are so, so sad to hear of Pam's passing. Lori and I were planning to go to Penn State next weekend to visit with her. We are going to miss her so much.

When I talked with Pam a couple of weeks ago, she said that she had time to think about things and felt like she had a great life. She was so happy with her family and friends who cared so much about her. She talked about knowing what is important in life. Pam always did know what was important. Her family was always her priority.

Pam was a wonderful person. She was always cheerful and welcoming. Lori spent many days at your house when she was a teenager. She lovingly called Pam, "Mommy Batch." Pam drove Lori and Becky to school most every day because they thought they were "too cool" to take the bus!

You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I know you are a close family, so you have each other for support.

Love, Barb and Jim Harper

She looks beautiful in her picture; it definitely captures her and her adorable personality. Christy, Becky and Lisa: you were incredibly lucky to have such an amazing and sweet mother. Everyone who knew her loved her. I will miss her, and my heart goes out to you and your dad. I am thinking about you constantly. Love, Lauren
