This news came to me with great sadness. Pam and I talked a lot over the years when she came to the DrOffice I work at. Her main concern was for her 2 Ausies in the event of her death. I am so glad they have found a good home and can remain together as I am sure this would be her wish. Prayers extended for the family and the new family of her beloved Ausies.
Pam, you were beautiful both inside and out. You were kind, loving and always enjoyed sharing about your dogs. I am so grateful for the few years we had together as friends. You were always there to take photos and I will cherish each and every one that you took for me.
I think about you often and know that little Stephen’s photos you captured will always be a reminder of you.
God Bless You Pam!
Pam was my friend for over 40 years. We had a lot of fun times and laughs. She was a smart lady and will be missed not only by me but by many of her other friends. Rest In Peace my friend …we will meet again.
