Pam,
It's with great sorrow that I learned of your Mother's passing. I always enjoyed my visits with her. She was always so kind and caring, but at the same time, you always knew exactly where she stood on any issue! She will be truly missed. Always remember and celebrate the great times she shared with everyone.

Waneta was one of my first acquaintances when we moved to the West Fork area. I always enjoyed visiting with her in the tiny WF library. She made me feel welcome to the area. Waneta filled an important role in the community. I will always remember her kindness to me.
Pam I am so sorry I cannot be there with you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Waneta's love, kindness and intelligence have touched so many. My childhood memories are filled with you, Waneta and Jack.
It was my pure pleasure to get to know both of you. I really enjoyed talking with Waneta for those few hours together that we were "allowed" to have for these last few months. Pam, you and your mother faced this day with admirable grace and dignity. I feel honored to have shared some of that time with you.
Pam, sorry to hear of your loss.
God bless you at this time of sorrow.
I feel so blessed to have been invited into your home. I looked forward to Mondays and Thursdays visits, with anticipation of another story and history lesson of growing up in Northwest Arkansas. Pam, you and Waneta have touched my soul with your love and devotion to each other. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Ms Redfern made me feel welcome when I first came to West Fork. She allowed me to volunteer to shelve books and was patient with my two preschoolers tagging along. She encouraged me in my efforts to start a Friends of the Library group and supported us in every way. I will always remember her fondly. She was a dear dear lady.
