    Dear Earl, Melba, Jerry, Jay and family, I am heartbroken to learn of Pam’s passing. I have a multitude of fond memories of the Baker family. You all held a very special place in the hearts of the Bond family. Pam was a precious lady and always wore a smile anytime I saw her. I hope you find comfort in knowing that she is completely healed and reunited with loved ones that have gone to heaven before her. Hugging you all with my heart and keeping you close in thought and prayer. John 14: 1-4

    Dear Jay & Family,
    I am truly sorry for your loss. I met Pam when you were my student, Jay. She was always happy at our meetings and always excited to share what new progress she had seen in you. I know your heart is broken, but I pray you find comfort in all your wonderful memories. May God bless and comfort each of you as you face this loss. My love and prayers are with you.

    Love,

    Dear Earl, Melba, Jerry and Family,
    I was so very sorry to hear of Pam’s passing. Even though I rarely see
    any of you since I moved from Bonham, the Baker family has been special
    friends to our family as far back as I can remember. Growing up, both my
    sisters and I knew the three Baker girls well! I remember Pam as such a sweet
    kind and friendly person! My thoughts are with you during this sad time, and I
    pray God to bless, strengthen and comfort each of you now, and in the days
    ahead. Sending my heartfelt love and prayers!! Numbers 6:24-26

    Jerry & Jay,

    I was saddened to hear of Pam’s passing. She treated us three boys with as much love as she did whoopings….and we got a lot of whoopings! I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers,

    Brad Nichols
