I was very sad to hear about Pam. Blessings to all of you at this time. One of the last things she told me was that she hoped we could have another family gathering before we had to get together for another funeral. Little did we know that her’s would be the next funeral. I will miss her but I’m sure she will not miss her pain that she has been dealing with for so long. To all of Pam’s children, I want you to know that I know she loved you ALL very much. You had a special mom. Cherish your memories of her.
