Dear Kathy, Angie, Doug, and other family members,
Please accept our deepest sympathies to all of you in the loss of Aunt Pam. We didn’t see her often, but we have fond memories of the times we were able to see both her and Uncle Leroy...lots of fun and laughter always. We recall her pride in showing us her many collectibles at their home in Cross Plains. We hope you all find comfort in the memories of times spent together. She will be in your heart always.
May she Rest In Peace.
Love,
Jim and Lauri Zander
(Uncle Vince and Aunt Helen’s son)

To Kathy, Angie, and Doug and family members of Pam. We just got the word of Pam passing and joining back together with Leroy. So sorry to hear of the pain you are all in from losing your mother.
We have such great memories of when you all lived in Cross Plains. I will personally remember your mom's laugh and quick wit. But especially her generous heart. Please give yourselves time to heal and take comfort in knowing you will always have her with you in your hearts.
Bryan and Annette Palchik
