I am deeply saddened by Pam's passing...the world has truly lost a unique, fun-spirited personality. She was SO thoughtful in that she wanted all who came in contact with her to have a relaxed and happy time. I will miss her child-like enthusiasm and generous spirit. Life will definitely be different without Pam in it.

I was honored to work with Pam at The Cellar for several years. She always had a smile on her face and made everyone laugh. She was a hard worker and made working a good time. I will miss you Pam....now you are pain free and reunited with your Dad.

Pam was a very good friend, and I had a lot of good times in the last 6 years because of her. She was so friendly and always welcomed new friends into her life no matter their age or anything. She, along with the rest of the wine party girls made me feel like a party of wine party as if I had been celebrating with them since the beginning. I truly enjoyed working with Pam, and loved hanging out with her. If it wasn't for her, we wouldn't have had so much fun! I will miss you so much Pam. Thanks for the memories, and thanks for always making sure we had good times to remember!

Dear Brad,
I was so sad to see in the paper that your mom passed away.
I am Laura's (Wendhack) mom. I called her this morning and she was shocked and also saddened. My mother, Lucy Schumacher just loved the heck out of you Brad. I've seen your mother before, but I did not realize that she was your mom. I want you to know that I'll be in prayer for you and your Grandma, as it's very hard to lose your mom and daughter.
God bless you Brad... turn to Jesus for comfort because there is no earthly person who really could.
Love,
Betty & Laura

I meet Pam when I stated working at the Deck in 1979. She welcomed me as a friend. We had lots of good times at work and then the wine parties started. They were time to get together with the four of us aside from work sharing good times and bad. Pam always welcomed new girls to join our party and new friendships were made Even after my moving away and returning for visits she always made sure we all got together again, making me feel like I never left. My heart aches to think it will never be the same wine party again. Pam I will miss you forever.

I had the pleasure of working with Pam for several years at the Deck. I never recall seeing her in a bad mood. Like all of us, I'm sure that she experienced tough times, but it never showed. I will always remember her laughter. She was a joy to know and will be missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Hold on tight to the memories.

Although I did not know Pam as well as I would have liked to I did have the priviledge of attending a couple of her wine parties with my sister and just from those couple of times I could see what a fun gal she was and what a truly great friend she was to all. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. Rest in peace Pam.

Pam,
We have worked together for many years, and I love to think of all the fun times we had together. It brings a smile to my face everytime I think of one. My favorite time is my first concert. When we all went to see def lepord. That was the best time every, and it was because of you. I will miss you and your smile that lights up the room.
It was an honor having the same day to celebrate our birthdays on. I will always toast to you on that day. It will still be our day. So up in heaven on May 10 raise your glass and toast with me! Love you Pam!
Your friend always,

Peggy

You only live twice... The life you WANT to live and the life you DO live. Pam lived her life the way she WANTED and that is very admirable these days. We should all be so lucky.

Stay postive... Hope to see you soon.

I've known Pam my entire life as she was best friends with both my mom (Julie) and aunt (Cindy). I live in California now, and I feel very thankful that I was able to see Pam one last time in August when I was back visiting Geneseo. Pam was one-of-a-kind and will be greatly missed. I'm so deeply saddened by her passing, but I take comfort in knowing that she'll always be with us in spirit.

Pam, you were a wonderful person and loved by many. I'll never forget your smile or little quirks that made you shine so brightly. You'll always have a special place in my heart. Cheers to the one and only Wam*

I shared many memories with Pam; running from bats in 4th grade at South school, rolling down Richmond Hill at our senior girls' picnic, early marraiage and divorce, lots of time trying to figure life out. Though I only saw her a few times in the past 25 years I was always amazed at her zest for life. Bradley, the last time I saw her (a couple years ago when I was in Gtown and she was our waitress) all she talked about was you and how proud she was of what a great young man you had become. God bless all of you and a special hug for Carol. Love, Wanda

May the Lord give you strength at this most difficult time.
