I was so deeply saddened to hear this very sad news. Pam was such an inspirational, kind, and genuinely caring person who always brought out the best in everyone around her. She did so much for the OLV community, and both Pam and Mark were true servant leaders who gave so much of themselves for the good of others. I feel truly blessed to have known her and to have worked alongside her at Our Lady of Victories School. I will always treasure the support, wisdom, and kindness she showed me, especially as a young teacher and new mum.
My heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with you, Mark, Olivia, Joseph, and Liam. I hope your faith and the love of those around you bring you strength and comfort. May you find peace in knowing Pam is safely in the Lord´s loving embrace, watching over you with the same kindness she shared so generously in life.
