Those incredible blue eyes, that great throaty laugh, the wild streak, the fearlessness.. The yellow VW bug, up and down the streets of Clintonville, getting our chocolate cake at Frisch's, looking for boys, cutting school, mooning out of the car window, laughing all night long. Wearing each other's clothes, singing to the Stones. Writing crazy notes, getting in trouble, two against the world. All long ago but never forgotten, never will be. I always loved you, Pam. Always will.

I am sadden to learn of this news. I've been searching for Pam to let her know about our 45th class reunion. I went to both junior high and high school with Pam. It wasn't possible to be with her without having a wonderful time.

My deepest condolences to the family.
The Whetstone Class of 1969 all mourn her loss.

Dear Joe - While you may not remember us, Rick and I enjoyed meeting you and Pam a number of years ago when we visited Naples and spent time with Carl and Jane. In addition, I was in Naples alone a few years ago and you and Pam were kind enough to include me in a wonderful dinner party. To this day, I stillI remember that fun evening and the delicious meal Pam prepared. It is with sadness that we send you our condolences and please know that you will be in our prayers in the days ahead. May God give you a peace that surpasses all understanding.
