I met Pamela when I first started out in healthcare at OSF St Francis Hospital in Peoria, IL. I´m sure she wouldn´t remember me, but she made a lasting impression on me in my early years . She knew her work and carried herself with such dignity! I saw in Pamela an intelligent, confident, strong, caring and beautiful young nurse. She was a woman beyond her time. Rest In Peace Pamela. Rejoice in the arms of our Father pain free and in eternal
happiness.
I feel blessed to have known you even if only for a glimmer of time. Love and prayers to your family.
