Ms. Pam it has been a pleasure knowing you for the last 6 years, you were a loving person and had a good spirit. I will miss seeing you for the gatherings at Ron and Tawaina's or even seeing you in Walmart. I must say God needed his angel the most. Rest on Ms. Pam/Auntie Pam You have lived a good and spiritual life. To Micheal, Todd, and Cody I will continue to pray for your strength as the road may be rocky Ms.Pam has took a smooth ride home. Prayers are going up for the family.
