Dear Hunter Family,
I was so sorry to hear about your loss, and that I'm not closer to make it to the funeral and tell you this in person. I am so grateful for how close I was able to get to you and your family and all the time we were able to spend together. It's hard that years go by and the distance deepens, especially since the Ankeny Wards split. However, I am forever grateful for all the love and support you always gave me, and for allowing me to come into your home. I always felt loved and welcome no matter how much you teased me! Once again, I'm sorry for your loss and I'm always here if you need someone to talk to. My e-mail address is sharlee_585@hotmail.com if you ever want to write and talk to me. I'm always willing to listen to whatever you want to say!
I love you ALL!!

I am deeply sadden to hear that Pam is no longer with us. The pain that you are feeling as a family right now can only be painful and hard to grasp at this particulare time. I will always remember Pam as a freind that was always their to help me out in times with Daycare chilren needing to go to her house when I would be gone. She always made my daycare children feel at home.Wewould visit her house and the children always had to come some the fish,which they will remember every time they go by the house. She was a strong willed woman but she always had time to talk to you and see how things were going. We would talk about each others daycare children and how they were all growing up to be fine mannered children. Thanks Pam for all the walks to the park with the kids and all of your visits to my house with your daycare chilren. You were one of a kind and I loved you for that!!!
To Mike , Chris and the twins: My thoughts and prayers go out to each and everyone of you and if their is anything that you need I and my family are just up the street.Enclosing,just remember that your Mom was very proud of each one of you and she always would talk about how she thought you all three grew up and areoutinthe BIG world now and making decisions for yourself and being very proud and how she LOVED YOU. You had a GREAT MOM.You will all have the great memories to hold onto and cherish the time you had with a GREAT MOM. We'LL Miss seeing you wave at us when we go by the house. Just keep smiling down at us Pam!

Mrs. Hunter, is it no question, you are truely missed. Your family is in my heart and in my prayers during this time of grief. You are an amazing person, everytime I saw you, you were cracking a joke or had a smile on your face. I would like you to know that you and your husband have raised three amazing children, that I had the opportunity to know and love for the short time I was living in Iowa. You all have amazing things to offer I hope in this time you will really come together and support one another. I cannot express to you how truely sorry I am for your loss. Please know that I love you all, Mr. Hunter, Chris, Alicia and Amanda. If you need anything please let me know. Also my family is not far from you so don't hesitate to call.

First I want to say how sorry I am to Mike, Chris, Amanda and Alicia. Pam was a very loving caring friend. She was very proud of her children. Pam and I grew up together. When we were toddlers we lived next door to each other. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding 36 years ago. Pam was my friend. The last three years my family has been through some pretty tough times. Pam called me at least once a month, if not more, just to see how I was holding up. She was always concerned about me and my family. Things have gotten better and she still called. In fact she called me Monday but I wasn't home so she left a message saying that she would call back later. I wish I had been home. I wish I had called her back. I miss her and will miss her calls. I love you Pam. Your friend...............Deb

Pam was always so much fun when I would come over to her house. She treated all of Amanda and Alica's friends like they were her own, whether it was just sitting down and chatting or teasing you a bit. I loved going over there.
Amanda and Alicia, I hate that we have not spent as much time together as we used to, but you know I still love you both. I'm here for you if you need anything!
Love always,

I was so sadden to hear about Pam. I cannot express how much Pam has meant to our family. Pam came into lives nearly five years ago when she started to care for our son, Tyler. She treated all her daycare children like her own and you could see how much all the children loved her. I know Pam has had a huge influence on Tyler over the years and years to come. He will always love his Pammy!
My condolences to Mike, Chris, Amanda and Alicia. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rebecca and I send our deepest sympathies to the Hunter family. Pam's love for children (especially her own) was so evident whenever I spoke with her. We had wonderful chats in the Church library when I was still in the Ankeny 2nd Ward. And she always gave me grief for moving to the 1st Ward. She will be missed dearly.
Our hearts and prayers are with you.

I've been close with the hunter family since i was about 14. That's 6 years of them opening up their home to me and being a great family. Mike and Pam were like a second pair of parents to me and I will miss pam so much. She loved her family so much and it reflects in back in all of them even after this unexpected, unfair death.
To the family: Anything at all you need. Hugs, someone to talk to, someone to assist with whatever you need for the upcoming visitiation and funeral.. anything at all please dont hesitate to call me.
To alicia and amanda: Girls you know i'm here always. I'm so sorry about this loss, it's so hard to see this happen to you girls and not knowing what to do to ease your pain. I love you and your family dearly.
To Pam: Rest in peace, i'll miss you sorely. I know you are watching over everyone in this difficult time. You're in heaven while we pray for you and your family, one day we will all see you and be greeted with that well known smile and hug.

Mom I love you more than anyone! You have always been my best freind, even though it seemed otherwise. You are my everything. I'm sorry I never did make it down, I'm sorry this had to happen to you. I hope you realize how much we all, especially me, love and miss you!! Nothin is ever going to be the same without you around. You were always there for me for everything, even the times i needed a tank of gas. I remember it was always shh, don't tell your father I'm giving this to you. I sure am going to miss the times when I have a day off and we both are bored, and coming to see you and spend the afternoon with you.
If I can ask anything of you, it would be. Please dont ever stop coming to see me at night. It really does make everything seem so much better...
I'll see you soon.
I Love you MOMMY!!!
