Great smile great attitude and a great battler. She fought cancer twice and we will miss her courage. She now sees what she always knew she would see.
Will see her again.

Pam was truly faith-filled and loved the Lord, and I know He welcomed her into His kingdom. My prayers for comfort for all of you continue. I pray Pam will rest in God´s great hands until you meet again. John and I send our deepest sympathy to you all.

I am so saddened with the passing of Pam..I was born and raised in Mullens..But did not meet Pam until our last class reunion and have talked to her on Facebook I wish I had known her along time ago. I am 75. She knew my cousin that was killed in a car accident in 1960..she sent me information from his accident that she had. He was 16...I am also related to the Lambs from Lerona, WV...I am so sorry for your loss.. I did not know she was sick..
