I miss Pam. I missed her when she became ill. I didn’t always feel liked by my friend’s parents but I felt loved by Pam. She really cared about you and was always interested in what was happening for you. She had such a great sense of humour. I will always remember how much she loved her kids – no matter what. She was an angel in disguise for me. I’ll never forget she was one of the few people to ask if I was ok when my dad died when I was 11. I loved spending time at the house with them – except for how ccccold the house was (lol). She came in to rescue grade 12 seminary for us – a thankless and hard job I’m sure. All because she cared and wanted these young people to care about the gospel. I was grateful to have Jim and Pam be such wonderful parents to my best friend growing up.

Dear Jim I was so sorry to hear of Pam’s passing and send you my sincerest condolences. Pam was a very caring person and a good friend. I know you were on a difficult journey the past years but you travelled it together and Pam is now resting peacefully and that will give you comfort.
