Tributes
"I cared for pam at the care center in Kanawha and became very fond of her. She was always quick witted with a smile and a story to tell me. We could talk for hours had I not been on the clock, but I always made time to stop and say hello and chat. She will be very missed and I am so sorry for your loss. It wont be the same there without her."
