My prayers for Pam's family. She was a joy to know and work with. While I was still in Huntington as the Director of Emergency Services, Pam began her volunteer career with the American Red Cross. We were fortunate to have this very dedicated person who chose to help others in
her "retirement years." Personally, I enjoyed the times she would share bits of her past during WWII and as an educator. I seem to remember she was a part of starting the PBS "Sesame Street" program.

I am so saddened to hear of your loss. Pam touched everyone who knew her. I was so lucky to be her next door neighbor for a number of years hear in Huntington. Pam's ever present smile and bubbly personality did much to brighten the days of those who came in contact with her in their daily lives. Your family will be in our prayers.
