Niki and I were stunned and saddened to learn, just now, of Pam's passing last year; our thoughts are with you John, and with your family. I have fond memories of jitter-bugging with my favourite cousin at age 13 or so...Pam was a great teacher. That makes me smile! Sorry for your loss, and for the delayed condolences. Niki and Jim
Hello John, and family, I e- mailed Pam around Christmas and asked how everyone was. We just came across this now. My condolences to all of you. We are shocked and surprised to see this. Our thoughts are with you and we are so sad to lose a dear cousin. Yim and Richard Warrington
John, Andrew, Amy, Asher & Anna, Please accept my deepest sympathy for the death of your wife, mother and grandmother. Pam was a lovely childhood friend. We stayed in touch over the years and the last saw each other was at our 50th HS reunion. Pam was so special and talented. I am sure you will miss her terribly. Warmest wishes, Gayle
So sorry to hear of Pam's passing. Thinking of you take care.
I remember well the qualities attributed to Pam from our meetings in the past. I remember the dream of perhaps a BB at the property in Baltimore. I also remember meeting them shopping at No Frills. I had not seen her in years but I I think she lived life on her terms and was a good companion to John.

John, so many memories of good times with you and Pam-- along with the many of our parents' stories from from Pam's childhood...Remembering the trip we all took to Florida when Andrew was just 6 months old, all of the farm visits, and Pam's kindness during our own mom's illness. Condolences to you and your family.
