Memories and Condolences
for Pamela Arensman

Not sure what to say?





Despite the fact that Pam and I never met in person, we had a great e mail/phone friendship. She was my surgery mentor after I was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago. I am blessed to have had her touch my life. My deepest sympathy to Pam's family.

Pam to your family....words will never express the loss of Pam. She was a true Angel. Her love and commitment to her friends, animal and of course her love for her family. Anyone who had the honor to know Pam was so lucky. My thoughts and prayers to all of you.

December 11, 2013

My heart is at a loss with your passing. It seems like yesterday we were joking about the people of WalMart. That you were wishing me well on my journey of healing. And that I was doing the same. You were such a strong woman. Always standing up for what you believed in. Always having a smile on your face. You were a joy to everyone who knew you. Pam... you will be greatly missed, by your family and friends. And I'm lucky to have known you.

John, my heart goes out to you during this time. You are an amazing husband. You never waivered and stayed by Pam's side always. A true gentleman. She was lucky to have you.

If there is anything we can do, we are here. Rest in peace Pam.

Always - Brandi Bruns

Pam, my friend,there are no words to express all I am feeling. You were so much to so many, two legged and four legged creatures here on earth. Your absence will be felt all around. I know you will be looking down on all of us and helping guide us through this. That is just the kind of person you were. I always wished I could have been more like you, and now I will try to make you proud by following in your footsteps. You are a shining star, and I will miss you forever.
To John and all of Pam's family, my prayers are with you.

Pam was that person you meet once in a lifetime. You could not help but love her the minute you met her, her genuine kindness and compassion was overflowing. She was the most giving person I've ever met. This world is a much better place because of Pam. There is such an emptiness in my heart knowing she is no longer here. I am going to miss you forever chicken! Love you, d

I have so many thoughts, but cant put them into words. We will always miss our Pamela, a true friend, so full of life, I miss you my friend. John is always.

December 10, 2013

Words fail to express the sorrow and sympathy we wish we could convey to John and the families. Pam was a blessing to everyone who knew her. She never seemed to run out of kind words and warm smiles. When someone touches our life for good, it's not diminished by time or distance. Pam was a phenomenal person but more than that, what a gift from God. God loaned her to us but must have needed this special young woman, to call her home so early. God be with you Pam, until we meet again.

John, I know you will receive an outpouring amount of love, strength and comfort from friends, family and the heavens when ever you may need it.

Our hearts are heavy and sad for John and family.

Many big warm hugs to all,

Linda & Bill Rohde

Pam was beyond a hero and star to everyone who knew her, even if it was for 5 minutes. We are all better human beings, more caring, empathetic, more understanding and forgiving simply because we received the gift of her friendship...God bless you Pam, your love and light will shine on.

To Paula and all of Pam's family, I wanted to extend my condolences. There are many people who walk in and out of our lives every day.....a special few get into our hearts....Pam was one of those. As one of the lead volunteers for Bonner Animal Rescue, I know that her love for our pets was equal to the love she had for her own. We will miss her greatly, but she will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Pam, until we meet again.
