Pam you were so beautiful on the inside and out always! Your smile lit up the room and you always had such a positive spirit about you. I always thought you looked like an angel and now you are a true angel to me in heaven. Love you so much and miss you each day.

Pam was my friend and my HERO! She always made me laugh, taught me to count my blessings, but also taught me never to give up. Pam will never know how much she has impacted my life, which is definitely not the same without her in it... but I smile knowing one day, I will see her again and we can get back to being goofballs together! God has a beautiful lady up there with him. I'm blessed beyond words for having her in my life! xo

Pam,

You will never be forgotten and are in our hearts. Jess and I work every day to make you proud knowing you are looking down and watching us. I consider you my second mother and think of you always.

All My Love,

J

Pam, closer to a girlfriend of mine than a mother-in-law. Always there to lend an ear, a helping hand, or share a laugh. Over the years with you I learned so much about love, family, and how to be a good wife and mother- something I can only strive to come close to. I will think of you and miss you everyday, but take comfort knowing your smiling down on us every step of the way. I love you.

I can not express how hard this is to write. My mother was the most beautiful person in my eyes and shaped me into the man I am today through her strength, smarts and courage. She lived a beautiful life and made a wonderful family. Nothing could ever heal the feeling of her loss, but I can only move forward continuing to love and make her proud knowing she is watching over our family and me today. I love you so much mother and would love nothing more then to have you here today, but I know you are in a better place now, happy and rested. Love you mother.

Hi Mama! My whole life I was so scared of death but now I can say that my fear is no longer. The reason behind that is because of the bond that you and I shared and how determined we were to find our connection with God and the perfect place called Heaven! Of course I wish we had more time together here on earth and for you to be able to see me walk down the aisle and one day have your beautiful grandchildren but I understand that life is not our plan but it is God's plan. Trusting him makes life a happier place and me more at ease! I am okay because I know Mama that you are okay!! Every time I think of you I cannot help but to smile or laugh because you were so goofy and had a heart of gold! I always swear that you were my twin because we had such a strong connection no matter how near or far! I still feel you till this day Mama and I will be sure to carry on your legacy the best that I can! You are my everything Mama and I hope that you know “I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my Mama you'll be.” 

Keep smiling beautiful! I am so very proud of you and I thank you for everything you ever did for me, especially for all those kisses you gave me before you went off to Heaven! I love you Mama and I cannot wait to see you again, just to hold your hand and to laugh at the silliest little things! Always My Love, your little girl Melissa Elizabeth Paige

"I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me"

Pam, my beautiful cousin, you made Michele and I laugh all the time even though I could barely get a word in sometimes.. You had a heart of gold and we miss you more than anyone can imagine. I know you are looking down on us especially this past week with part of the family in Tampa, and every time we talked about you it brought a smile to our faces...Alexis and Kalie miss their Aunt Pam and all the gifts you use to bring them. We love you and miss you.. The Fernandez family

My Beautiful Sister Pam it was an honor to be by your side during your very courageous fight. You are loved by so many, and I am so glad you, and Dad have each other now.  I am taking good care of Mom, and holding Glenn, Jess, and Melissa close to us forever. I love and miss you little Sister, so don't you worry, just smile, and know that everything is going to be ok, until we can all be together again. I Love You Very Much, Cheri

My Darling Daughter Pam I love and miss you so much. I think of you everyday, and everywhere I go, and everything I do reminds me of you. I can't wait to see you and your Dad again in a better place. I Love You, Mom.

Pam made an imprint on any person she touched. She was a loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. She made sure to welcome anyone who came into her home and treat them like family. She was true to who she was and tried to be objective in any situation. I admired her enthuiasm with life and will live every day of my life aspiring to more like her. Ma, I love you and miss you dearly.

Pam was my best friend and my life will never be the same without Her.   She was loving , kind, and a good wife and most of all a great mom.  She will forever be in our hearts and I do know that one day we will meet again in heaven.

As we prepare for the Christmas Season we cannot help but think of Pam, her favorite holiday of the year.

Pam was such a beautiful person inside and out; we have so many fond memories of our friendship throughout the years. We fell so blessed to have had someone so special in our lives.  

We started as friends and ended as family.

Pam we miss you dearly!

Strength, charm, warmth, beauty, selfless, and loving - that is the Pam who eternally lives in our hearts and memories. You have reinforced that it is the quality of one's presence, not the quantity of years, that matters most. Forever with us.

Pam was the friendliest person I knew.. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. She was my best friend and I miss her dearly every single day!

Pam,

We miss you so very much.  We miss your infectious smile, we miss your sense of humor, we miss your phone calls, we miss your compassion for friends and family...I could go on and on.  We think about you often, and even talk to you as we reminisce funny memories that we shared.

I remember sitting next to you at church on several occasions, when you would lean over to me to make a comment on what I was expecting to be the pastor's message, but it was actually to comment on how wrinkled someone's pants were!  Wrinkled clothing was a pet peeve of yours, and I think of you each time I iron.

I remember always being amazed at your energy level.  I would watch you in awe as you would race around our house with all the energy in the world, and then you would amaze me even more by telling me that you went to bootcamp earlier that morning!  I would get tired just watching you!

I remember how Anthony would scold you for feeding Naya lunch meat when you came over...but of course that didn't stop you!  Naya, on the other hand, saw no problem with it!  She misses you greatly as well...and your lunch meat!

We miss you so much, Pam.  We so selfishly want you back here with us, but the Lord was ready for you in His kingdom.  We know you are there with Him, experiencing His love, peace, and happiness beyond measure.  We all will make it there one day, and when that time comes, we will be together again!  We love you so much.

I will always miss and remember Pam .I was her hairdresser and we became very good friends she was an amazing person always caring about everyone else and doing things for other people even when she was sick she was one of the funniest people I have ever met we laughed a lot I still can't believe she is gone I will always miss her and love her

I don't know that I've ever known anyone more loving, more giving or more beautiful, inside and out, than Pam! Her love and devotion to her friends was boundless, and I feel privileged to be counted among them, and to have benefitted so greatly from knowing her and receiving her love. There wasn't a selfish bone in her body, and nothing she wouldn't do to make someone feel comfortable in her presence. More importantly, Pam's love for her family, especially her devotion to Jess and Melissa, was endless. While I will personally miss her enduring smile, her nonstop energy, her eternal optimism and that sweet southern drawl, I appreciate that a part of her still survives in the lives and faces of her kids, who I look forward to remaining in touch with as a tribute to our everlasting friendship! May she rest in peace knowing just how much she has meant to so many people, and especially me.

 There aren't enough words to describe how Amazing Pam was, Beautiful, Genuine, Kind, Loving, Giving, Funny, Honest, Energetic, Happy just to name a few. Pam would talk to everyone and always made them feel special whether she knew them or not no one was a stranger to Pam. We have many fond memories & will always keep them close at heart we are very blessed to have had such a wonderful friend  in our lives. She would always call me and say my girls had Personality Plus, She was the one with the sweetest biggest personality ever, 
One of a Kind
She will always be forever in our hearts.  Heaven must have needed an Angel.
As Pam would always say ....
I love you very much, 
Ditto Pammy...... We Love You So Very Much!

There isn't enough space in this book to write about how much Pam has affected not just my life but the people around her. Pam was such a beautiful person who brought so much joy, love, happiness, and laughter to my life. There are many people out there who do not get the chance to have a mother and I was so very fortunate to have two. I will forever hold on to her memory and cherish all the memories we had together! Thank you so much Pam for always being there for me and giving me the chance to be apart of such a beautiful family! Love you forever and ever!

I feel so blessed to have had Pam in my life. She was always a bright light in the room, bringing people together and making everyone feel warm and welcome. Her enduring strength is a constant reminder that all things are possible with love and support. She fought a hard battle with grace and dignity, never bowing her head in shame. With her shoulders held back and head held high, she left us with a beautiful memory of a life well lived and a love so strong. Pam, you will be forever loved and missed by many. I am a better person for having known you, and I know your legacy will forever continue through the eyes your amazing and beautiful family. Xoxo

Pam touched the lives of many. She will be deeply missed. May she rest in peace and her spirit live on through the many cherished memories.

For as long as I can remember Pam has always been there for my family. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her. From all the Keys trips to the Christmas holiday parties my memories of her will never fade. I especially thank Pam for convincing my mom to finally get me a dog! Penny has brought me so much love and I owe it all to Pam. I love you, Pam... Thank you for everything.

Pam was such an extraordinary woman.  She was always full of life, light, and love.  In the few times that I was around her, she made me laugh and filled me with joy.  I see her in her daughter Melissa so much and know her memory will live on forever.

I heard about Pam long before I ever met her.  My husband, Marshall was convinced that she was the neighbors masseuse.  He had seen her leaving their house a number of times and thought she was the absolute vision of a "perfect ten".  Well, driving home myself one day, I saw this beautiful lady, long blonde hair flowing in the wind, tall, lean suntanned body with a beautiful smile; dressed in her (what I would soon earn to be) signature attire, white tank top, white short shorts and white tennis shoes. The only thing that concerned me, however, was that she was carrying a vacuum cleaner not a massage table.  Upon further investigation, I found out that she was the neighbor's housekeeper.

Time passed and as fate would have it, our housekeeper relocated. Marshall jumped at the chance to ask Pam if she had any free time available.  As busy as she was, she willing accepted the position and for twelve years kept our home in tip top shape.  She not only took care of the basics, but also sewed, found handymen for repairs that she couldn' t do herself, entertained the grandchildren and kept a close eye on the pets; all the time with a beautiful smile.  I don't think I ever saw her get upset.

I'll never forget the time our two year old grandson was visiting.  I had a doctor's appointment and Pam said, "let Jonathan stay with me, it will be fun".  Sure enough, when I returned, Pam had set up all the play school edifices and assorted play people on the floor so that Johnny would be entertained as she worked around him.  She always enjoyed when the grandchildren were around and when they weren't she never failed to ask how each and every one of them was.

Pam took very good care of our pets, too.  Whenever she came by, to clean or just to visit, she always brought a small cooler filled with treats.  She was very protective of our wayward cat, Lynx, who, whenever we went away took bathroom liberties outside the litter box.  Pam cleaned and scrubbed everything up and always reported when we got home, "Lynx was a doll".  When we got our puppy, Zeeb, she played with him the whole time she was cleaning, pushing the vacuum and dragging Zeeb behind her with a toy in his mouth.  To this day, he still likes that game.

Speaking of treats, Pam always brought human ones, too.  Chocolate chip cookies and banana bread were specialties and two of Marshall's favorites.  She always doubled up the treats on his birthday and he refused to share.

When our daughter, Camie had her ski accident, Pam volunteered to clean Camie's house until she found someone permanent.  As Camie was basically an invalid for quite some time, Pam not only cleaned, but helped Camie in and out of bed, into the wheel chair, took her to the bathroom and made her lots of goodies to munch on.  Camie, called her, "my angel" and she was.

 Pam never forgot a birthday, even when she was so sick.  I will always treasure my last gift from her - a manicure and pedicure at her favorite nail spa.  We went together which made it ever more special.  She was so cute picking out the perfect color and then upset that we didn't get the nail techs she wanted.  We toughed it out and had a wonderful time; followed by a shared smoothie and a very touching conversation at her house where she showed me the momentos she had prepared for her family.  Everything was so thoughtful and beautiful.  It was hard to hold back the tears.

Pam left a bountiful legacy of courage, strength, faith, and unconditional love that is sure to be a guide for all those who loved her.  Now, every butterfly and every orchid will bring back memories of a sweeter time and Pam will live in our hearts forever.

Thank you, Glen, Melissa and Jess for sharing so much of her during the past two years.  Thank you, too, for allowing us to spend a few of her final moments with her.  It meant a lot to have that chance to say, "goodbye".

All our love,

Beckie and Marshall

My friend Pam, exempliefied all that is good, truthful, powerful, honest and sincere....and with the brightest and most cheerful smile, ALWAYS!  

I don't think there is ever a day that Pam did not say, "I love you" and "Thank you for all that you are trying to do for me".  So appreciative and proud of life, her beautiful family and  friends.
She has taught us all how to live life to the fullest, take chances, do it all, and of course, you MUST look great doing it all, with the best manicure and pedicure, just the right jewelry and outfit, and so striking anytime she walked into a room.  
  
From the day we met when our children were all at Embassy Creek, she made me smile, and taught me the gift of gab!  She loved a great story, and exchanging all the neighborhood fun, gosip, and stories with each other.
When Jess went to camp with me one summer, I thought her notes to him were the funniest I ever read.  I will always laugh out loud, smile, and just be happy thinking of what a beautiful person my dear friend Pam was to me.
Memories of all our conversations will be thought of daily, and close to my heart.  I've learned so much from Pam.
I am blessed to have had her in my life.

So my dearest friend, I can't believe it has been a month since you passed on.  Not a day has gone by that I do not think about you and all of very serious but mostly funny daily talks. We still talk now but it is so very different not being able to see your beautiful smile and feel your warm heart.  You taught me so very much about life, love and dignity.  You are the best friend a girl could ever have asked for. I will always cherish our time together and miss you so very much!

From the moment I met Pam, I instantly felt close to her. She was such a warm and caring person, and she was always there for me. I always remember her telling me how proud she was of me, she meant so much to me, I will always cherish my friendship with her.

New your  mom way back when in during the early Country Club of Miami  days .... Ray Creel was dating Cheri, Buddy Morse was trying to date Chris I was dating Darnell Mitchell Pam was around all the time....George had it all under control and ruled with an iron fist when it came to dating his daughters (Kinda LOL) but the Kushmer girls really made & set all the rules in that house. Loved Pam so sweet....Love the Kushmers.. Joe Ramirez in "By God West Virginia"

From the time I was very young, I was drawn in by Pam's warm and welcoming spirit... As a little kid, being dragged to adult events, knowing Pam would be there was always the exciting thing to look forward to. I remember spending time at her house with Jess and Melissa while Pam would die my moms roots. My mom always laughed because the first time, being blonde and my mom having black hair, Pam didn't realize the dark dye would stain her hands, and didn't wear gloves! Of course she was a mess, but Pam was always gracious and just laughed it off! As I grew up, I loved everything about Pam even more, still now, it's hard to even wrap my mind around what a beautiful, kind, amazing and sweet in every way person she was. From the tiniest things, to the biggest things Pam has always gone out of her way for me and my family, from searching every forever 21 for a dress of Melissa's I borrowed so she could find me one, to hanging my parents christmas lights on our roof, she was truly one of a kind. Helping my mom with the christmas lights was so important to her that even when she was sick, she made sure to recruit someone else to do my mom's lights because she could never let something go unfinished. I can still hear her sweet voice and laugh. I pray that she knows how loved and missed she is every day. To Glenn, Jess and Melissa all our love always, Becky, Rick, Rachel and Susie


I'll never forget the day that I met Pam.  I  attended the 'new parent breakfast' at the middle school. I walked into a full cafeteria and the first person that caught my eye serving breakfast 
was this beautiful blonde wearing a denim mini skirt (with the longest legs), sneakers, an athletic jacket & the biggest brightest smile that lit up the whole room.  As I walked up to her she handed me a plate and with her sweet southern belle accent said to me "would you like some eggs honey?"
I took my plate & sat down alone at a table and the next thing I know Pam is sitting right next to me and says "hi baby doll my name is Pam what's yours?" From that moment in time 14 years ago we became super close friends. She was my blond bombshell and I was her baby doll.  That random act of kindness describes Pam to a T!  She had the biggest heart of gold, she had an absolutely beautiful soul and was the kindest most sweetest person I had ever met. Pam was unique! One of a kind! She cared more about others than herself.
She was always so concerned with everyone else. She was always making sure her family and friends were ok and all was right in their world. She made you feel special and although she always told me she was blessed with her family and all her friends...We were the ones who were very blessed to have had her in our lives! 
Pam taught me a lot about this journey of ours  and a lot about love. I will carry her in my heart forever and I will cherish our very special friendship always!

The Faith, The Fight, The Courage. Just a few words that describe the women who made such a great impact on my life. Little does she know she changed my life forever. She showed me what true beauty is. Beauty is not a look, a style, or even an image. Beauty comes from within. It's inviting someone into your family after only knowing them for one day, it's going out of your way to make someone feel special, it's the countless hours of caring when no one else cared.  Beauty is Pam and Pam is beauty.

I didn't know Pam personally, but I do know her daughter, Melissa. Although we just met a few short years ago, it has always been evident how much she adored her mom and what a fighter her mom was... I wanted to share that Pam must have been a wonderful mother because Melissa is an outstanding girl... She is beautiful, strong, encouraging, intuitive, kind, and loving... All characteristics passed down from her sweet mama. Melissa... Bran and I love you and have been thinking and praying for you every step of the way. Can't wait to get back down to Florida so we can spend some time together again with you and Johno. Sending all our love and support...

Pam touched so many peoples lifes. She could make a total stranger feel comfortable in any situation. She fought hard and she is at peace now. May your family find comfort in knowing how much she was loved and all the wonderful memories you have.

Such a loss for all. I remember Pam at boot camp, always happy, always positive. I never saw her with anything less than a big smile. She will be missed by all.

Hi Pam, I miss you so much and still have a hard time believing you're in heaven now. Your picture is on my refrigerator and I talk to you all the time.  You are such an amazing friend and I have beautiful memories that I will treasure forever.  I remember our runs and talks after boot camp... I would be a sweaty mess and Pam still looked like a super model in her cute little outfits and her colored hair tie to match.  With her blond pony tail swinging she'd put on her earphones and sing out loud as she ran effortlessly. She was so happy, carefree and positive. I can picture her now.  Her bright, spirited personality lit up the class.  I miss our talks and boot camp will never be the same but I know you're still with me especially on 'our runs'. Thanks for all our wonderful memories together, Gator games, Christmas Parties, Captiva and everyday life. You are so special, kind and thoughtful and I feel so blessed to have had you in my life.  I love you!

I love you Pam. You were a blessing to me

Faye Munnings

A few of my favorite times with Pam were so simple: getting my first french manicure with her; having lunch on a beach one day, talking and laughing before charging off to pick Melissa up from school; our speed-making tacos for Jess and Glenn before they ran off to a game one night; sitting on the bed both of us folding or rolling clean laundry and talking about girl stuff. Pam was an inspiration and left a great legacy. She was my long-distance sister-in-law but she was also the only sister I ever had and I loved her. Love you all, Joyce

Pammy was a wonderful Sister, Daughter, Wife, Mother & Friend to many. I miss her so much but have so many Beautiful memories. She fought the good fight, no more pain & suffering. Our Family was Blessed to have her!

Pam was such an amazing and unique person. To know her was to love her. Her love for life and for the people in her life should be an example to us all. All encompassing love and angels now surround you and our world has truly lost an earthly angel. Love to the Richman and Kushmer families. 

Susan Bindschadler Siceloff

We love you Pammy and we know you are in a better place, no more suffering and no more pain.  We loved our doggie walks together and sharing custody of Cooper!!  You were such an amazing wife, mother and animal lover.  Thank you for teaching us the importance of living life to the fullest!  Your light will shine on in our hearts forever and ever....Tricia, Brian, Jenna, Leah, Mini Cooper, and Spencer

Pam even ran faster than most of the boot camp class backwards -which she often did to include everyone in her good morning greetings.  
It was a pleasure to be one of so many that called Pam friend.  No one brought more joy to so many with such energy, happiness and thoughtfulness.  
Pam, you will be missed with every orchid siting, Christmas party, slouchy sock, Gator game, Frosty, velvet color by numbers picture and so much more.

Words do an injustice in explaining how much Pam will be missed. She will remain very alive in our memories and admiration. She is an Angel In heaven
May she rest in peace.

HI GLENN IM SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LOST SHE WILL BE MISSED SHE WAS TRULY A FIGHTER R.I.P. PAMELA RICHMANN

To a loving caring beautiful person, what a fighter RIP,
 
  Morella & Jerry (Kendal Fl )

May you finally be at peace Pam. You will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the family. Love, Ann Marie Green Vibbert.

To my neighbor and dear friend Pam, I am heartbroken and missing you so much. Your spirit and zest for life were remarkable. You touched so many people and to know you is to love you.

To my beautiful Aunt Pammy,

Words can not express how much I will miss you and that beautiful smile. There are not a lot of people like you that touch so many lives and truly wanted to help everyone you knew (and didn't know). You are so very special to me. From your amazing advice and our long talks about anything/everything, to all those special years in the Keys at the family house, and everything you taught me about life. You were always there for me no matter what and always had my back. I am so blessed to have had the chance to spend so much time with you and all of our special moments which I will never ever forget, even up through these last few weeks. I am so thankful for those memories... You will live on through all those special family and friends that love you so much.  Rest in Paradise my sweet Aunt and give Grandpa a kiss for me until we all meet again.

Pam, from the entire TGI family - may you rest in peace, we will keep Glenn in check for you until you are together again!
Tony and the TGI family

Pam you were always a "light in the room".. your presence literally lit up a room! Your beautiful presence, love for your family, friends and community will continue to shine in the hearts and live's of all those graced by your beautiful smile, amazing personality and huge heart! You will be missed..Love in my heart for you and your family... Eileen Owoc

May you be at peace, May God bless you and your family !  Rest in Peace. 
With all our love Marisela and Ernesto.

Pam had the biggest heart. If she just met you and heard you had a problem she wanted to help you fix it. You will be missed Pam. Love you 
John & Eileen Watson
