Pam was one of the greatest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her joy and warmth were impossible to ignore. So many bad days turned into good ones because we ran into each other in the hallway or stopped by the other’s office. She would pop in and say “you know what I’m gonna ask… you have anything chocolate? It’s one of those days”. We could talk for hours about anything and everything and we did - be it marriage, family, religion, trauma or our mutual love of fast food, little Debbie cakes, and Grey’s Anatomy. She gave the best advice and the best hugs. On one of my last days working in Moore County, I spent several hours talking with her and I will cherish that memory more than I could ever say. She never hesitated to tell me that she was proud of me and would often say “It’s so cool that I got to be your teacher and now I get to work with you. Isn’t that the neatest thing?” And yeah, it was. Because being around her was a privilege. I was so lucky to know her for as long as I did and in so many different seasons of my life. I would not be the person I am today without her and I mean that sincerely from the bottom of my heart. Pam, I love you so much and you will be missed.
