Sorry to hear of Pam's passing. Didn't get to see her much after she left 2 South.

I fondly remember first meeting Aunt Pam when I was a little boy. My uncle a long time bachelor was bringing his fiance by to meet our family. I was excited because my mother said she was going to be my aunt and I had never had an aunt before. She walked in the door and I recall thinking how pretty she was with her beautful smile and this stunning jet black hair. I was finally going to have an aunt. She was so sweet to me that first meeting and has always been since. I would call Aunt Pam in her later years and she would always ask about my family and what was going on in my life. I will miss you Aunt Pam.

This lovely woman became my Aunt when I married her nephew Bob. She instantly took an interest in me and we shared a love of cats and cozy mysteries. She would often pass on the last one she read. I still have her original copy of Spoon Corn Bread and my family enjoys at each holiday and whenever else one of us makes it. She was always caring and never failed to send a note in the Christmas card asking about our family. She will be missed greatly.
