When those we love have left this earth, we still can feel them near. We'll see a picture, hear a song, and it's just like they are here. And when we call upon our faith, when we believe and trust, we know the ones we care about are always close to us.

Mrs. Allen you will be missed. Those of us who had a chance to have you in our life have been blessed for that while those who haven't missed out on a great opportunity. Your mission here is done and you have now returned home to our heavenly father. You can now live worry free and in good health without pain and carefree. We may not have been family by blood but we are by GOD and because of you we met your son Robert and became part of a much larger and caring family.
Truly,
The Verstreate Family

My husband and I were reflecting on our fond memories of Pam. I will miss hearing her say "hey baby girl, you alright?" She was like a mom to me. She was always putting others before herself. And my husband will miss tracking her down for those "tasty treats". She was truly a great friend and will surely be missed. Please accept our heartfelt condonlences in the loss of your loved one.
