I was so sad to hear of Pam's passing . I have known Pam since she was very young. I would go over to her house and she would sometimes come to mine to play. She and her parents and Deedee also attended
my church, Ankeny Baptist. She was such a sweet gal and had the nicest personality to match. She is really going to be missed. My deepest sympathy to her family. You have lost someone very special. Sandi Jones Di Marco class of 1971 AHS

My sincere sympathy to all of Pam's family. I also attended school with Pam. I remember her as a sweet, kind, sincere and pretty gal, much like her mother. I'm thankful I got to chat with her in the Spring of 2016. I was not aware of her courageous battles with cancer til now. I will pray that God will draw each of you close and give you comfort, strength, peace and hope.

Steve and Travis: Im so very sorry to hear of Pams death. I graduated from Ankeny with Pam and I was very surprised when we connected years after we graduated. I have very fond memories years ago when I would come to your home and spend the night with you. Your friendship meant so much to me after my divorce. I wont be in town on the day of Pams funeral but please know that I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
