Pamela "Pammy" Birdsong

My fondest childhood memories are of the 6 girls playing together during the summers, whether at Nanna's, Auntie Ann's or Uncle Ernie's House. I can still hear him calling me Pammy and will always cherish those memories and that laugh of his.
My heart goes out to each of you - Kim, Laurie, Traci and Patti - the world lost a good man this week and I pray, that in time, the heartache of today will subside, and all of the good memories will put a smile on your face and a warmth in your heart as he has transitioned from his place here on earth to his new role as your guardian angel.
You were always my favorite uncle - RIP Uncle Ernie
