Pam was the sweetest girl in our 1961 class at Lanphier.  She was friendly and I enjoyed attending classes with her especially gym.  Peace be with you Pam.  Beverly King Collins

I haven't seen Pam in years, but she was in several of my high school classes and one of my friends back in school.  Her warmth and friendship meant a lot to me, "the new kid".

I always thought Pam was so perky in high school and I was fortunate to sit with her at one of the class reunions and she was really fun and we laughed all evening.  My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family.
