Pam will be missed by all who knew her. Michelle, sending hugs & love. So sorry for your loss.
Pam was always social and loved her children and pet children alike. I’ll miss you but know I can find your wavelength if I listen for the happy sound of champagne bubbles.
Michelle, at the memorial, you asked us to share stories about your mom. My favorite was the (more than one) cocktail-infused discussion(s) at Fluid Lounge about the existence of God. She was a believer; I am not. We had some really fun debates that took us some weird places. Never once was she anything other than receptive and interested in what I had to say. I will truly miss those talks.
