“Underneath the Everlasting Arms of God!”
Purple was your favorite color..you were almost always late…heart of gold and silver and then some… ..what a character you were… loving, giving, understanding, unique, willing to help those who needed it the most, and as Muddie always said, “You marched to the beat of a different drummer,” good for you!, which are only a few of the reasons we miss you so terribly. So much love to you Pammie.
Pam and I shared many escapades together. She introduced me to the love of my life, Leroy Southam who had been LaVern’s best friend in high school. She was a true friend and a great comfort to me. While we had drifted apart in the past few years, I still cared about her.
She’s soaring with the eagles now, and after LaVern…….. My prayers be with you.
