We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of Pam. She was a beautiful and very caring person.
God be with you all during your time of loss.
Ann, Kenneth, Barb, and Jan,
I have very good memories of Pam from GCHS band days, and from some quick-paced conversations in high school where she more than kept her own. Thoughts, prayers, comfort and condolences to each and all of you as these days unfold.

Still miss her laughter – she had such a quick wit. I remember her through grade school and high school with fond memories. She is still missed!
