Thinking of you as a little family that has lost a wife and mother and hope you find comfort in the memories you have even though they will never fill the void you will have now! Thinking of you siblings losing a sister and hope you can find comfort in the joy you shared in past days! Our Love and Care, Garland and Lorna
We are surely thinking of Dwight and the children as well as all of Pam's siblings as you gather tomorrow.
I don't know if I have one specific memory of Pam to share. The Pinney's were just always there. Your family was such a part of my growing up that I can remember so many things. I remember playing volleyball in the back yard at Aunt Myrt's house. I remember so many get togethers where I was a little younger than the rest of you but Pam always took the time to say hi to the kid hanging out on the edge.
We especially think of Sam because it is hard to think of one of the twins without thinking of the other. I am sure you will all feel her absence very keenly when you are together tomorrow and we wish you all the comfort that God can give you.

Since hearing the news Pam , Dwight, and the children have not been far from my thoughts.
I met Pam and Dwight years ago when Pam and I were teaming up to help a young Korean girl Get treatment for her stomach cancer. Pam and I spent a good deal of time together ferrying this young woman to appointments and helping her to get set up on hospice at home.
There was an instant connection between Pam and I and we felt very comfortable together...had some nice talks.
What I remember of Pam was her calm and gracious persona...very easy to be around. she was full of compassion for others without being over bearing in any way. She was a very present help without wanting credit. Always willing to be in the background. She and Dwight used to drive the rubber right off their tires driving everybody around who needed a lift anywhere:). It doesn't surprise me at all that she became a Hospice nurse...or that her life here on earth ended while on her way to help others. She will be sorely missed,
My most sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to Dwight, the children, and all of her dear family,
