Rip you will be dearly missed by everyone at Rocky Grove Bingo!!!!
To all the family, I am so sorry for your loss. Pam was a friend that I can say was always cheerful whenever I would run into her, typically in a store or at bingo if I chanced to go. We would catch up on each other and say hope to see you again soon and laugh because that quick trip we were making turned out to be quite a bit longer. It was nothing to spend 30-45 minutes just chatting. I will definitely miss those chance visits, her smile, and good heart. Tina Hart
I had the pleasure of visiting with Pam the last couple years at car cruises, Taste of Talent contests and facebook. She was a sweet girl. You all have my thoughts at this sad time and prayers for comfort. Chris and Cal Cross
Thinking of all of you in this very difficult time.RIP Betty and Jim Snyder and Clara Egan
To Pam’s family, so sorry for your loss. Pam and I talked frequently the last couple years by phone, text and Messenger. I’m really going to miss that.
It’s so hard to let go from a very special friend, such as Pam. We were friends in high school, but had reconnected over the last recent years. We loved going to visit rescue dogs, concerts and music in the park. Pam loved her Facebook. She would spend time visiting with friends on it. Pam stopped in every Sunday, after Church for coffee and catching up on events. She was very inquisitive, and when Mark worked on her vehicles, she wanted to learn all about what he had done. lol. Pam helped us a lot by sitting with my Mom, and she loved coming to play with our dogs. Pam had a caring personality and loved animals too. Her and Mark , loved picking on each other. We will truly miss her. The Family is in our prayers. Love, Carol & Mark Books
I am so sorry for your loss. I met Pam through my neighbor & one of my best friends Holly Miller. She was such a delightful lady. God Be with you all & prayers for you.
Our condolences to Ray and family at this most difficult time ???? Dale and Sandy Southwick
Pam was one of the most caring, thoughtful people anyone would ever want to call friend. Bill and I will miss her easy smile, good natured ribbing and thoughtful ways. I had a medical emergency last year and she came and sat with us at the ER till I was moved to Hamot. It was of great comfort to us both. Rest in Peace my dear friend. And if you see my Mom, I’m sure she knows where all the good bingo games are. Love, Holly, Bill, Smokey, Booger, Oreo & Ziggy
Remember that we love and care about you. And we pray for peace and comfort and blessings in your grief and ours.
To all her family and friends, please accept my deepest sympathy. Pam was a truly awesome lady. I can’t remember a single time she did not have a beautiful smile, no matter what trial she was facing. Rest in peace.
