Pam was a bright light. She always had a beautiful smile. She laughed easily and made everyone feel comfortable.. Pam was a wonderful and cherished friend to our daughter and a genuinely good person. She will be greatly missed. We are praying for your family.
I only knew Pam through her role at Pathfinder. She was wonderful with my grandson, endlessly patient and convinced him to try for the swim team of which he is now a member. I had just begun to realize what a rare and wonderful gift she was when she passed away. My heart and sympathy especially to her family and to her colleagues at Pathfinder. And also to all those who go to Pathfinder every day as their home away from home, my love and condolences.
A wonderful Professional lady who trained me as an instructor when I first came to the workshop. A hard dedicated worker she was. My prayer is that she is in peace with her Heavenly Father. Prayers for her children and family.
