On this Anniversary of you passing, I reflect on the many great times we had together, conversations, laughs and advice. I think of you often and miss you. If only there was a way to call you up there.

I was shocked to find this. We lost track but I never imagined you passed. You were a great step sister and you were always kind to me. I will miss you.

My Dearest Pamela,
I am so heartbroken and saddened to find this remembrance listing. I lost touch with you when I recently moved out of Fl., but reconnected one time, only to be out of touch again. When my Xmas card was returned with no forwarding address I knew there was something wrong..
You and I became friends through collecting those silly little pieces of plastic aka Gift Cards. Our friendship grew and you became such a dear friend of mine. You had a heart of gold. You were so warm, inviting, caring, funny and sassy hehe. I remember the times I came up & spent the weekend with you, the countless hours we spent on the phone and all the help and advice you gave me after I had knee surgery.
I will truly miss not being able to come back and visit with you , miss the phone calls, emails, and that yearly "My life in review for the Year" Xmas letter. :(
Rest easy my sweet Pamela... Till we mingle again.

Sorry to so belatetedly find Pam's obit. We had some grand times together, our trip to Egypt one of the best. The many games of pinoccle with her and Kingsley when we lived at RiverCrest. Always thought you would outlive me as we were ten years apart in age. Rest in Peace.

My dear friend Pam, I'm so sorry to discover that you have passed. Always so funloving and full of life, I'm sure you're having a great time on the other side. I'll see you there one day--and we'll have cocktails! Until then, I'll be thinking of you and praying for you. Love you!

My dear friend Pam, What a pleasure it was to know you. We shared so many fond times together. Road trips, afternoon cocktails times, lunches and dinners together. And after I moved to Ohio, your hospitality. I miss you.. Can't text or call you any more...It makes me so sad... At least now there is no pain.. and you can now have cocktails with Bunny and Mary C. and other dear friends that have passed as well. See you on the other side... Love you, Deb..( in ohio)

In this time of grief it is also a time of so many fond memories of this special person. The last breath has left her body but she will not be really gone until that time when last of the many of us who loved her says her name for the last time.
