    We will miss Pam at our monthly ladies’ night out. She was always so much fun and she made us laugh a lot. I am so sorry for you loss.

    I’m sorry I never got to meet this sweet lady, but our families are joined with her daughter marrying my son. No more pain, heartache, tears, or sorrow where she is now and though she will be missed here on earth, she is enjoying the view of all that splendor and once again meeting her loved ones who went before her.

    I have such fond memories of Pam during their annual family visits to Wisconsin when we were young girls. She and I were closest in age and spent as much time as we could together. Thankfully, our memories last a lifetime. Rest in peace, Pam.

    There are no words to express my shock and sadness of Pam’s sudden passing. I have many fond memories of the good times when our now grown children were in Jefferson school, Girl Scout events and other shared memories. Pam, Roberta and myself always had such good times back many years ago. We lost touch over the years but would see each other once in a while and it was like time had stood still. She was a lady who loved her family and had a good golden heart. I strive to be as kind as I know she always was.

    We are so sorry to hear about Pam’s passing. She was a wonderful mother and a proud Grandma. I remember so many times that we shared with dance costumes and school activities. And all those great costumes that she would sew. Margaret and Shawn send their condolences from California. She was so sad to hear about this. Sending prayers to you all. Linda
