Pam & I remained friends since Farmingdale HS. I could not believe the "city girl" went off to Kansas & fell in love with the country. I enjoyed her trips back to NY: we talked about friends, Farmingdale, games, teams, many good times. Your warm heart, kindness, laughter, and friendship will be missed by many-you did so much for others. Your always talked about your family-you loved them so much. Truly a good friend to all. Heaven has another angel; rest in peace my friend.

Pam and I attended Baker at the same time then reconnected years later after a chance meeting at the Kwik Shop. She was always a bright light and will be missed by many.

I knew Pam my entire life. I remember when the Jayhawks won the championship in 1988. Pam came and picked up my Aunt and I and we went to campus! She had a truck with a loud speaker. I remember stopping by her Moms house and saying Leona into the loud speaker until she came out. She was always up for some fun! I loved to hear her stories of New York. I didn't get to see her often, but when I did, I always loved it. I will miss seeing her and hearing her accent. I will miss the stories and updates that I would get from family. I will miss her.
