Hardy of Cumming; mother, Joan Allen of Martin, GA; children, Eric Haynes of Atlanta and Shelly Timmerman of Cumming; sister, Sherri Doyle of Athens; grandchildren, Travis Timmerman and Torey Norris; and her beloved dogs, Mitzi and Ling.

"The Queen of SalsaPam's thoughtfulness could take your breath away. When my Mom passed away last summer and we were clearing out her house, I happened to find the remnants of a ring that meant something special to me. Mom had all the tiny little diamonds taken out of it many years ago to use in something else, but I was still so happy to have what was left from that original ring. Pam (being Pam!) couldn't bear to see that poor mangled ring without any sparkles to it, so she collected up six little matching diamonds from her stash and gifted them to me so I could restore Mom's ring. Now that ring will truly be one of my most treasured possessions because it holds the spirits of my favorite girls--my Mom and Pam."

"To Charlie and Family, I was in an Investment Group with Pam. She was respected by all, and was the most Legitimate Trader I ever knew. I hope when I go, it's with the same character and courage that Pam had. BB"

"Pam..Your long online friendship meant so much to me. You sent me the following, and now I return it to you with love: "I give you this one thought to keep, "I am with you still, I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on the snow, I am as sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain when you awaken in morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night, Do not think of me as gone, I am with you still in each new dawn." Rest in Peace, gentle friend. :-)** Kimarie@aol.com"

"Girls day on the boat......My most favorite memory of my dearest girl will be the day she came running out yelling my name to "stop the boat, I want to go!!" We had such a wonderful afternoon, just us girls floating, talking and laughing about life.... I will cherish these special times and our talks. Thank you for sharing this wonderful woman with me.......Love and God Bless you, Cathy"
