Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My dearest heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family! I do not know her immediate family, but I lived by Pam in Hutchinson when we were kids. She was a good friend of mine. I don’t even remember how old we were when she moved away, but I do remember her radiant smile and laugh! She was so young! What is earths loss, is heavens gain! I am blessed to say that I knew her and pray strength and guidance for your family!
Entering a room Pam occupied never left me feeling anything less than refreshed. The genuine energy she exuded tranfered to others around her. Pam radiated life in a new way that was her signature. Her kindness, and endearance that were merely standards for her; were aspirations for others. Pam’s spirit will live on within some of my fondest memories.
April & Family, So sorry for your loss. April, you have been such a good friend to Amado and Briana, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Let us know if ou need anything. The Pina Family

Randy, Sorry to hear of your loss. I am thinking of you. She was fortunate to have you stand so faithfully with her during this last decade. You’re a true role model. I remember the many, many fun hours we had at the little shop on south main in Hutch. The way you trusted me when you left me in charge of the shop. The hanging lamp still shines in the corner of my living room. The crossing of our paths is a treasured intersection in my life.
Randy, Sorry to hear about your loss. May your family and your faith comfort you during this difficult time.

I meat Pam at an ALS banquet and knew her through Bob Bischoff. She was a friend to Bob Bischoff who was like a father to me. I seen Pam at Sam’s Club in December and we visited. She was a special person and I know she will be missed. My mom and dad are Audie and Joy Ammons, they know the Rayer family as well. God Bless all of you!
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Any time I was in your store, in noticed the importance of family. Your wife and mother must have done a great job of spreading her ‘beautiful smile’ to you and then to all your customers. May God bless and keep you.
Dear Randy, Treasure the many happy moments you had with Pammy. You were both blessed to have each other.
With sympathy and love to Randy and family at the loss of Pammy.
My heart is breaking for all of you. I understand the bittersweetness of Pams homegoing as I lost my husband 2 years ago with the same horrible disease. Although you will miss her terribly, take comfort in the knowledge that she has total healing now and is waiting for that special day, when Christ will take us all home to be with them! The absolute peace and comfort you are feeling is only from our Heavenly Father. Lean on Him and give your tears to Him. What a precious woman, Pam has been. I am so happy to have talked with her and come to know her through the ALS walks. What a true insperation and great woman she was. My prayers are with you all at this time.
Randy and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am so glad you celebrated Pammy’s life daily. She mentored me in many areas. Our thought and prayers are with you all through this time of loss. Every minute will be a challenge, then every hour. Hang in there her spirit will always be with you.
Randy, our prayers are with you & your family in the homegoing of precious ‘Pammy’. The last time I saw her was at Dillard’s & she had this wonderful smile & optimistic outlook…..that was just who she was. Her faith was so strong! I’ll always have some great memories from when you lived in Hutch & we first got to know you & Pam.
Dear family of Pam–Several years ago I had the privilege of writing about Pam’s life for the Wichita Chronicle. What an inspiration she was and continued to be. Months ago I saw her again at Kohl’s and we had a brief chat. I’m so sorry she lost the battle with ALS, as I know her faith called for a healing. She has that now in the loving arms of our heavenly Father. God Bless each of you and again–it was a joy to know that little bit of her and your family. I know she was an inspiration to many. She was a sweet sweet spirit and I’ll never play that song again without thinking of her.
I had the pleasure of knowing Pammy for only a few short days, but the love and kindness of the family that surrounded her during her final hours are a testament to the kind of person that she was. I offer my deepest sympathy for the loss of a woman who touched so many lives. My prayers continue for Randy and the girls, Janet and Paulette as I was touched by Pammy through them.
Randy and family, I am truly sorry for your loss at this time. I know that words can not erase or alleviate you pain. Just know that I am sorry and will be saying prayers for you , your family amd most of all Pam. My sincerest condolances.
