Pam entered my life when I was 16. Now I cant envision a world without her physical presence.

As a 16 year old, my 1st impression was, “Wow, shes gorgeous AND cool!”. I loved her instantly. (Unfortunately, my boyfriends were quite fond of her as well, lol.)

The interaction between Pam and myself, for whatever the reasons, has primarily been over the telephone.

She was:

The big sister I had always wanted

The best counselor I ever had

The only one that could “get it” right on, tell it like it was and in the process make me laugh.

Pam has an unprecedented wit and dry sense of humor. I use the present tense because I will continue my conversations with her. There is such a thin veil between this world and the next. Pam will continue to listen to me, give me advice and make me laugh.

Pam and I shared some similar traits and we were able to discuss them openly and honestly.

Pam had innumerable talents and abilities. I always told her, because of that, it was too difficult to choose just one career in life.

To mention a mere few; Pam was an amazing Life Coach, Therapist, Information and Technology Expert and Chef.

Pam could research, assess, organize, strategize then develop whatever she had in mind. This was a benefit to herself and others.

Pam was intelligent, kind, compassionate and empathetic. She was a true Blessing to all who knew her.

Since Sam informed me of Pams passing I have been thinking of her with the knowledge that she is enjoying herself in a state of the art culinary kitchen. She is experiencing true freedom and peace all the while still being with her loved ones.

Pam had many struggles on this earth but she always knew she possessed true gold in her devoted husband and daughter.

I know Pam is with Tom, Sam, Moxie, Judy and Lance. She is hoping they recognize her presence. Shell be talking to them, sometimes giving them hell but, as always, loving them.
