You have my deepest sympathy on the death of Pam. When we were stationed here in 1988-1992, I was a frequent customer of her flower shop. We had many interesting talks about flowers and birds that she kept at the shop. I remember her telling me that she was going to school and wanted to become a doctor. She was a kind hearted person, and I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with her.

My deepest condolences to Randy, the family, and the puppies. Dr. Pam was such a good friend to me, as well as my favorite doctor. She was always beyond patient and gentle. She was generous and gave of herself in all her words and actions. I can’t imagine what those who loved her will do without her. She’s left behind a great void in our hearts. She’ll be missed more than can be borne and remembered with joy and tears. Dragonflies and butterflies will dance in her honor.
