Love you Pam. 😪💕🙏

Facebook Twitter GoogleI met Pam through IWGB events but we had much more in common than love for our Lord Jesus Christ. We both love family, friends, animals, and flowers and campfires. We both showed horses in our younger days as well as Pam having lived in West Michigan were I was raised. I had the pleasure of visiting a festival in Kirkland last summer and would had been doing that again if not for the pandemic. I was treated to lunch at the Pink Spoon and made a couple small purchases at Pam’s favorite antique shops that I will cherish always. On Saturday July 18, she said I was welcome anytime and wanted to give me more plant starts. That was Pam, a kind, caring, generous person. I will miss her.

Facebook Twitter GooglePamela Brown was like a mother to me.
Pam was one of the kindest, most supportive persons I’ve ever known. She shared her food, her encouragement, and her sympathies with me. It was enough for her that I was friends with one of her boys.
Shawn and I met in grade 9 and quickly became friends, sharing many hobbies, one of which was playing video-games. After high-school I worked a summer with Shawn for his Dad in their machine shop, out in the garage. I spent countless hours at the Batten house in Brownsburg. No matter the trial, Pam was on my side, encouraging me.
As I grew into adulthood, she appreciated my work and embraced my wife. Life eventually led me out-of-state, on different paths, into different work. Though our contacts grew infrequent, she and I found time to catch up last year. Pam patiently listened as I assured her of my health, of my family’s well-being, and my growing children.
One of the last things she she told me was, “love you Vince…never forget that.”
I have no doubt Pam loved me. And I will miss her.
With our love and support to Nik, Shawn, and Mandi,
Vince (for Lori Switzer Londini and our girls)

Facebook Twitter GooglePam and I were chums during Jr High at Brownsburg. She loved her horses but she could never get me to ride one! She always had a smile on her face and an infectious laugh. Would see her occasionally at church but our careers and families kept us busy in different directions. She was a very genuine person and an honor if she called you friend. Thoughts and prayers for her family. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Facebook Twitter GooglePam was my friend for many years. We studied together, prayed together and had many interesting biblical discussions. She was a loving, caring person of many talents and deep empathy. She was too good for this world, I think. My heart is saddened that she has been taken from us so soon but glad because I know she is with our Heavenly Father where there is peace and joy – and pain is not even remembered. No doubt she is asking her maker a lot of questions right now. Pam, hopefully we’ll see you again soon. Miss you ! You may be gone but you will not be forgotten.
