I was saddened to hear of Pam's passing. Pam was our neighbor in Elmhurst... She was always kind, a great gardener and loved to hang out with our cats... We will miss her everyday... I have walked in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer for the past three years, she was always one of my biggest supporters. Andrew, my husband, and I always thought of her... she will be missed. Bless you Pam.

Pam played a huge roll in my life. I wish our friendship wasn't cut so short. It's already extremely lonely here without you. You impacted and inspired me so much! You were like a mother to me. I know you have no more pain, and I hope you rest in peace, you will be missed so much by both of us.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but littl by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Thanks Pam for the memories we have with you. May you rest in peace.
