When Pam moved to Okemos, we became instant pals, having similar interests aside from both being the tallest girls in school. We remained good friends, working at Green's after school and continuing to Western where we were roomates and sorority sisters. We shared life's ups and downs until she died at age 41 of lung cancer. - Renee Runciman Veazey
