Pamela was the colleague who always made my day with her innate cheerful outlook and words of encouragement. I am shocked and saddened to hear of her passing, and send my condolences to her family. Pamela was greatly loved at Wells Fargo.
This world lost an amazing human, but Heaven must be beautiful right now because it has you in it.
