Dear Mom, Pat & Pete,

I am so saddened in Pams passing. Our thoughts and love are with all her family. Pam was not only my most faithful and loyal employee at Jimtown for over 20 years but she was my dear friend. I depended on her so much and she did so much for me. We called each other “sisters”. I told her that when we left Jimtown I wanted her to go with me on vacation; but we didn’t ever make it. We always had fun together even when we were working; and I always enjoyed being around her. She was good to my kids; and they loved her too. I know that she was welcomed into heaven by everyone that knew her. She was going to help me finish writing my book of “My years at Jimtown”, now I will depend on her coaching from heaven.
Our love, prayers, and sincerest sympathy to all of Pams family.
