Auntie Pam,
How time goes by. The other day mom and I were in the kitchen and Morgan came up and gave DeeDee a picture, it was of an Angel that she drew. The back of it said RIP aunt pam. When asked why, she said I talk to her, just look at the bush. There is a butterfly bush in our yard that is now in full bloom.. Proof that your memory and legacy lives on. In your honor I have a butterfly tattoo stating donate life so that people know the choice of life you have made. I love you!

I just heard about Pam's death- I used to work with Pam at Petey's back when I was in high school, and I was filling in for someone tonight when I saw her prayer card near the desk at Peteys. I am so sorry to all of her family for your loss. Pam was such a beautiful, fun loving, protective, caring woman to me, she never let anyone bother me :) She used to make me laugh with her press on nails (mind you this was in the 90's when the "nail" technology wasn't so good) one time we found one in the freezer by the ice cream after she and I hunted around for it for quite a while:) She was so good natured about it all- I admired her for that. I am hoping you are all finding peace in happy memories.

Pam has a very special place in my heart as she had in my life. She was a great friend and my Maid of Honor. We had twelve unforgetable years together before our lives took seperate paths.

Pam for all the times I tried to contact you, I finally found you. You will be missed and loved more than anyone can imagine.I will never forget you.

I love you.

To the dear friends and family of Pam: I didn't know her, but I have heard so much about her in the past few days from her Aunt Kevin Kennedy Lunsford, my sister-in-law. She sounded like a wonderful woman who meant so much to so many, and will be deeply missed. My prayers are with all of you.

Pam was more than my friend and sister-in-law;she was the first person her godson saw;7 months pregrant herself; was that dr. a nervous wreck...We both just laughed and panted..And I always said you made Rob left-handed..Some thought we were all nuts. But life gave us some INCREDIBLE LAUGHS and Joy.It was Never DULL... You will be missed, watch over those of us you touched. Until the time we're all together again. Later.

Some of my most fondest memories involve Aunt Pam. To this day I can't look at a raspberry zinger and not think of her.













She was there for me in good times and bad. She helped to raise me and form the person I am today.













Auntie Pammy will be in my thoughts everyday until we meet again.

One of my favorite memories of Pam








centers aroung the Kennedy Park Water Carnival. (Best said in Mrs.








Valentino's voice)...anyway I was








about 12 and I was getting ready








to be in the swim race...Pam was coaching me...she






gave me a Hershey's chocolate bar just before the race and brought cooking oil for me to get slick skin and glide through the water. I won...I even beat Brigid Hurley. Thanks Pam!
