Celebration of a Life

FOR PAM On this Spring night. I would love to take you to dinner, Because,no matter what,you did treat me like a winner. We both were as different,as any two humans can be. But love and loyalty bound us in moonlit immortality. I have not met any like you,who never tried to change me. And the laughs we had refreshed me as breezes from the sea. Oh,how strikingly different in fashion we did dress. Me, lik a wild Samba dancer,you,neatly and perfectly pressed. There will never be another woman so very sweet. We, so strikingly, different, jocular women on Oak Street. I miss so our hour long chats on the-phone, And then~the Lord decided to take you to His home! I’d bring you back, if only for one lovely,Spring, night . Dearest Pam…if only I could…..if only I might! I envision your page-boy, auburn hair, shining in the sun, As close to an Angel on earth,you were,smiling, having fun. Thank you for having magic, divine,exquisite jour de vivre . I hear your laughter in the whisper of moonlit, Spring leaves. 4/26/2023 Dedicated to my forever friend~~ Pamela

Thanks, Elena. Pam knew you since you were a little girl. You made her laugh so hard, with poetry you made up at age 6..Pam and I would sit there laughing at your sharp sense of humor.it was always contemporary not babyish poetry. You were very observant as a child and you still are. Pangie xx aka your Mom

Dressing was one, Pam liked to dress ultra conservative. Me! No chance, more lke a Sambista dancer in Carnaval in Rio.)) but, we just fit together. A magical person. Wish there were more like her! Thank you. Pangie. 90 degrees here today,

Good Day, Tom. Going to be 90 here today! Have A/C, hurrah. I have no siblings, so Pam was like a sister that I never had. It was great that we laughed heartily at our differences. Pam was ready to retire, she livived on the East Coast.never told me she had cancer. Pam died in her early 60’s, her frien called and told me . Devastated is too weak a word y state…Pangie

LOLMay Piull.. I guess people do not care about relationships? Without a friend life is meaningless Streets? Can’t communicate with us. Thank you
