We are so very sorry to hear of Pam becoming an eternal Angel. There are no words to express our condolences. We are shocked to come across this news. Pam is one classy lady! We met you (Cleave) and Pam before Thanksgiving last year and have always thought of you both being very friendly neighbors to us. The first time we met, we knocked on your door and Pam invited us in as if she'd known us for a long time, but it was our first time meeting her and you when you came home. We stopped to introduce ourselves and possibly gain insight about our new travel trailer since you have the same type. Pam will always be in our hearts. Cleave, you are in our thoughts and prayers, as well as the whole family. She always talked about the grandkids. I know they were her pride and joy. We are truly sorry for your loss. May God be with you during this time. Rest in Peace Pam. Hugs and prayers.
