Hi Pam's Family,
My name is Kellie Albrecht (Wood) and I taught 4th grade with Pam at Fairhaven Elementary School in Santa Ana, CA. We team taught together and shared so many laughs. She was so easy going and such a pleasure to be around. I just always remember her laughing. I'm so incredibly sad tonight to just learn of her passing and I want you to know how much she was loved by her Fairhaven Family.

Dear Kevin,
What I remember most about Pam was her gentleness, her soft voice, and her smile. She took an interest in others and was so kind. I can't imagine what you are going through and what is in store; I do know that you, Kyle and Ryan will get through it, as hard as it will be.
May God give you strength now, comfort in the days ahead and peace when you are ready.

Pam,
Thanks for being such a wonderful neighbor. You were always there to let me into my house when I biked home without a key. You did an excellent job of getting two boys off to a great start. We will all miss you greatly, but you remain in our memories.
Godspeed
