Always "Mrs. Black" to me. So many memories of happy times with Pam and her Mom. Living just across the street I was a frequent visitor to the Black house and enjoyed the loving spirit of Mrs. Black. She was a special lady with an endearingly lovely heart. My condolences to Pam, her husband, Neil and their children to have lost such a beautiful person - I am certain that you feel blessed to have had her with you for so long.

Irene and Glen were the best neighbors. I loved Irene like a sister. She was a very loving, kind, and special person to me. Later years we lost touch but her loving memory was never lost. Pam and Neil my thoughts are with you. Nancy Hopkins
