I can't even begin to imagine how hard it would be to loose a mother. I don't know what I would do. Briana and Dominic, I pray that you guys are doing great. I love you both soooo much. Even though we don't get to talk much, you guys are my family. We just have to understand that, God must have had some awful big, excitting plans for Pam. Now she can be out of her pain and relax. She's still with you and looking over you. I love all of you.. Pam,Briana,Dominic,and Sandy. God Bless!

I never had the pleasure of meeting Pam in person but enjoyed our chats on line and emails. It was a comfort to talk to her about her cancer and share stories about loosing our hair. She seemed to have a way of making a joke out of it all. I have prayed for her and her family this past year and will continue to keep you in my prayers. She is at peace now and does not have to suffer cancer anymore. She was truely an inspiration to anyone who knew her. God Bless you and Comfort you.

Aunt Sandy and family,

I feel so lucky to have had a cousin like Pam. She was warm and funny and always had that great laugh! It would make me laugh. I wish we could have had more time with her. I pray every night that she will help you all get thru your grief. She is our Angel now. Pam was so strong and positive thru all of this. Aunt Sandy, she got her strength from you. You were a great mother and friend to her. I'm sure you will do the same with Briana and Dominic. They are lucky to have you in their lives. God bless all of you. I love you all! I will never forget Pam.

Love, Julie

It's so hard to be here when all I want to do is be there and hug you all. Please know that I am there in my heart and that I love you all.



I'll miss Pam's big laugh and beautiful smile. She could really liven up a get together. I wish we could've spent more time together as we were growing up. We did have a lot of laughs the last time she was home.



Sandy, Dick, Claudine, Brianne, Dominic - you are all in my thougts and prayers. Love you all.

I met Pam when we were kids. She was cheerleading and I played Pop Warner -- Her house across the street from the field. I still can read the yearbooks she signed. The memories are dear. We lost touch after highschool, but she found me a couple years ago. We talked as if it was just yesterday we were at SMHS, or even Sinaloa...We reminisced about a more innocent time. I will miss Pam. My thousghts and prayers are with the kids and the family. Dan

To Pam's Family - I went to high school and graduated with Pam from San Marin. I was so sad to hear of her passing. Pam was such an outgoing and popular girl in school - everyone knew who she was because of her beauiful blonde hair and wonderful personality. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this time of sadness.

Briana and Dominic: Always remember how proud your mother was of you. You were the first thing she talked about when you would see her. Dominic - I will never forget your mom telling me that you had made your school's Honor Roll for the first time. She was beaming and so very proud of you! Briana - She was so proud of the wonderful young lady that you were growing up to be!!! Your mom will live on in you!!!!

There are no words to express the loss of a loved one and Pam was truly loved by many and will be missed deeply. The lives she touched are forever changed and I am honored to have shared a part of her journey. Our work in South Sac changed my life forever and truly was one of the greatest experiences in my own life. I will always admire her courage, strength,and dedication to advocate for others.

To all of you Bri, Dominic, her Mom, Sandy, brother Cory, her Dad, Claudine, and Jordan(Jeff), my thoughts and prayers are with you each of you. Know that I am here for you. God Bless

There is a hole in our collective soul here at Kair In. Pam was a social worker here. Pam often was called on to step outside her self to go beyound what is required of social workers. Her smile and caring goes on in the people she touched. She touched the minds and hearts of the foster children under her watch. Our hope is that one day breast cancer will be cured and persons as young and as caring need not suffer need not die. Somewhere up in heaven Pam is doing social work god speed Pam

HUGS & FRIENDSHIP

Hugs come in every shape and size and mean so many things (this was Pam). Like the hug that say I'm happy for the joy our friendship brought. There are hugs for saying I'm so proud of all the things you did. There's no one else in all the world like you. There are gentle hugs, and tender ones for feelings that are sad, Hugs that say I'm sorry when someone's feeling bad. There are hugs for all occasions,and reasons big hugs short to extra tall! But the nicest hug is one that says I'm always thinking of you. The special kind you brought your way, was the hugs that said I'LL LOVE YOU ALWAYS.

"OUR FRIENDSHIP TO THE END".

My prayers are with the family. Pam is now in Gods memory and no longer suffering. Briana and Dominic stay strong and remember your mothers love for you. Jeff, stay close to your children, they need you more now than ever. Even though your heart is saddened with the lose of Pam in your life your children are also hurting and understand less than you as an adult do.

I met Pamela on a field trip to the Crocker Art Museum and State Capitol when our children were in 3rd grade. We spent the day talking about our children and joking about having to walk so much on the field trip. Dominic is again in the same class as my son Ethan, and I am sad to say that I had no idea that Pamela was sick. I am saddened at the loss of a wonderful woman and mother. May God give your family strength to endure in this time of grief. I lost my grandmother last year and I know how hard it is to lose a loved one. On the hardest days I find that remembering the good times and cherished memories I have of her help me get through the day. I hope your memories can do the same for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
