PAM
So very sorry for your loss. I remember Pam as the little girl who used to run and tell on Rene, Rocky Nixon and I whenever we did zomething we were not permitted to do. As an adult whenever I ran into her at times that were very few and far in between she was always upbeat and spiritual She had a peacefulness about her that was infectious. She will be missed by everyone who knew here especially her beloved sisters. Love to all V

so sorry to read about Pam
Bob: Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Not sure if you remember me but Pam and I worked together in the Branch at New Holland.
Nothing I can say to you will help you feel less pain. Only time will take care of that. Although I have met Vivica it was a long time ago and I would probably not recognize her since she is a grown woman. Please tell her that she has our sympathy and prayers. God works in ways that we don't understand. Some day we probably will. However at a time like this just know that we all are pulling for you. God's Blessings Roy

In Secure Hands
To the family of Pam Folks,
It is hard facing the pain and lost of a love one even though we believe and have faith in our God above that heaven will someday be our home. This is why Jesus showed us compassion and love when he came to earth showing His human side to us. He himself experienced and understood pain because he experienced it long ago in many ways. However, the good thing is He nows sits at the right hand of God His Father. So, now we know that Pam is in good hands. So, shed your tears and don't let no one disrupt your grief because God will be the one to say enough now dry your tears and your yesterday tears will soon past and become tomorrows joy and the rememberance of love and laughter will soon fill your hearts of your mothers memories. May God bless you.
In God's Care
Vivica and family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother, Sister, Cousin, Wife and Friend. My Condolences to your family from me and mine. I thank and Praise God for allowing me to meet Pam if just for a brief moment. I pray through salvation we will meet again. God Bless you all in your time of need.
Pam we will miss you...
Pam was a special lady, always cheerful and helpful. I will miss her happy voice - and thoughtfulness. We can rest in the knowledge that Jesus is always with us...
