I am a sales representative for furniture dealer that is being awarded the visitor waiting areas for the Intensive Care Unit. In what little time is spent with her and others at Portsmouth and the phone calls fine tuning the quote, I could see that she had a zest for life and a deep love for the Navy and the personnel under her command. I thought it was cool when she told me that in IRAQ she blew away folks with her ability to shoot a M-16 and use a K-Bar.

Although we did not stay in touch, you never expect to read or hear about the death of someone who you loved and were close to. <br /><br />Pam touched my life in ways you cannot imagine. I had the joy and privledge to know her in ways outside of her Navy career. But then again that is how we met. She had the most outgoing personality in a person I had ever met. <br /><br /> It did not matter if we were hanging off the side of Lookout Mountain rappelling, or biking through the mountains and trails around Chattanooga. Pam was always out in front leading and going. <br /><br /> She was a very special friend, one who will be severely missed by all her shipmates and the Navy Chiefs community. She will always hold a special place in my heart as she was the key holder for me.

As an HM2 getting off 8 years of active duty, I relocated to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Within a month, I was in the reserve center affiliating with the Navy Reserves. Pam was my recruiter. She was an HM2 as well and was a great friend over the years there. I tried to keep up with her as she went to other duty stations. Everywhere she went, she impacted live. I was honored to have her be the one to put me back in. Now I am almost ready to retire and it all comes back to her.

I remember a very caring person and someone that was always full of laughter. I did not have a chance to speak with her again since I left Camp Pendleton, but I kept up with her through a mutual friend...I can still remember from way back then how wonderful she was.

She welcomed me like an old friend; took me under her wings. I learn how to be a better leader from her but also a better person. She told that you have to live each day to the fullest, no matter what. She did just that. She made sure that everyone was taken care no matter how late it was or how busy she was. As I felt the ship on April 29, I told her that I would see her in Norfolk when the ship came back home. Well Pam I will see you in VA, when the ship comes back home. You are a great Leader, and a good friend.

HM2 Branum and I were stationed at Field Medical Service School together in the late 90s. As the only two females in the training company, there was tremendous pressure for us to be there every moment, at every evolution, leading from the front so that the female students could see us. Never did I hear a single negative word from Pam. I was a LT new to serving with Marines and her beautiful smile, kind heart, and guts of steel motivated me beyond words. It was truely a magical time as others who served with us who posted here can attest (RPCM Holdren, HM1 Jasso). My sides still hurt from laughing!! We left Field Med and both went to the Naval Hospital at Camp Lejeune where she continued to be the fine HM1 and HMC that she was. I miss her already but am so proud to have known her.

GOD knows best and he only takes the best of the best. She was truly one of his angels and he was ready to call her home.

She always encouraged me and when I was down and needed to talk or even cry she let me do that. Through it all she encouraging and supportive, I will never forget Pam or her camera, she loved taking pictures and she gave us some great memories.
