To Pam's family,
I, too, had the good fortune to have known and been a friend of Pam. Our friendship began in high school and even though there were times when distance and opportunity limited our visits, it was, none the less, highly valued. She really cared. Because of this, I can only imagine the enormous sense of loss to those closest to her.
My deepest sympathies go out to you. As for me, I am just grateful that she was a part of my life as well.

She was my girlfriend at one point in high school. I named my second son Thomas after her father. I loved her and her parents dearly.

A wonderful, gracious, helpful friend and neighbor. She dealt with her illness with incredible strength and courage. I will miss her very much.

Dear Family,
     I remember Pam so well.  She was so gracious and accepting to all classmates.  It is comforting to know that she is resting peacefully now.  May God be close to you as you lay your mom to rest.

My thoughts and prayer are with you...sorry I can not be there...I am in Mexico.....but my thought will be of our good time at Spring Branch High School. Pam, will be greatly missed.

I pray that she will be smiling down on all of us, and if she is the person I remember from school, she'll be on the Greeting Committee in heaven.

With a spirit like no other, she lit up a room and had a joyful presence, no matter where she was.  She touched the lives of many and will always be remembered by her "other" kids.

How comforting it must be to Pam's children that so many of her friends from days gone by loved her and spent quality time with her as she was leaving this world.  In life she was a mover and a shaker; when she made her exit, she did not leave alone but surrounded by the love of her friends and family.

With such a vivacious presence, she immediately put an adolescent boy's anxiety to rest and made conversation so easy; she was one of my favorite classmates.  That charming smile and twinkle in her eye will be sorely missed.  I know we'll meet again someday…

Connie  and family - I am sorry for your loss. I knew your mom through Connie and know she was a wonderful woman. She will be missed. My prayers are with you.

Pam was such a dear friend and always the gracious hostess! She picked me up from Hobby several times when I flew in for ANOTHER service for Fine'59ers! I will be remembering all of you on Sat. I'm unable to join you in Houston.

 PAM WAS THE SWEET GIRL I GREW UP WITH IN HOUSTON FROM THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD, ELEMENTARY, JR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL. THAT IS A LONG TIME ASSOCIATION WITH A WONDERFUL LADY AND EMAIL BUDDY. SHE WILL BE TERRIBLY MISSED.  MY MOST SINCERE PRAYERS ARE WITH HER FAMILY BUT WE CAN ALL KNOW SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE.

I, happily, envy Pam where she is today.  No more pain, suffering, sickness, worries or troubles.  I whispered to her, during her last day on earth, to say "Hi" to my little Pat and that I look forward to joining her.

Pam was one heck of an event planner --my type of worker.  All of us Bears, who have stuck together during the past 53 years, will truly miss one of our special classmates.

I remember a beautiful young lady from Spring Branch High School as we passed in the halls! RIP Pamela!

Another of our class mates waiting for us on the streets of God.

My Dear Aunt Pam. Our hearts are heavy as we grieve together our loss in Pam.  Pam will be ever gentle on my mind and ever present in my heart.  Know that each of you are close in my thoughts and prayers now and always.  Love you,  Jan
