Pam was my sorority big sister. She picked me so she could be my mentor. She was such a laid back person and was such a help to me in college. We kept in contact over the years and she always bragged about her beautiful family she was so proud of. She always gave me great parenting advice. Lots of love to her husband and children. Love, Valarie (Simpson) Jerome xo
Ashley says
Pam and I met in college and were also roommates. We lost touch for a couple years but picked up where we left off a few years back. I’ll miss our daily conversations about all the random things we chatted about. Pam and I had become very close and I feel blessed I got the chance to get to know her and her heart these last few years. Pam is a special lady and will be missed greatly! Love you Pammie!
