Condolences to the Family

Pam once wrote in one of her many cards to me over the years, “Is fearr cairde na or,” translated as “Friends are better than gold.” Pam was one of those friends to me and not a day has gone by in the past couple of months that I do not think of her and miss my chats with her. I will always treasure my memories of Pam.
I continue to keep Greg, Andrea, and Adam in my thoughts and prayers, and extend my deepest condolences to Pam’s extended family as well.

I am heartbroken, still in disbelief that after sixty years of friendship, we won’t be growing old together. Pam was an incredibly loving, caring friend, still sending cards throughout the year, always making a real effort to stay connected despite distance. Our conversations were always unique & random🥰 Pam was fun & feisty, smart & a warrior. I treasure the life we shared & miss her deeply. Shari Riley (“Smith”)

I was very sad to learn of Pam’s passing. I’m sure she is at peace now – and watching over her entire family. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
