Oh, that's s awful. She was a wonderfully fun lady and will be dearly missed by all lensmasters. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

So sad, she'll be missed.

Oh no - that is so sad.  She was a friend in another group - I will pass the information on to them.

I didn't really know her very well, but that is such a shame, and just before Christmas too.

Her daughter said that she really liked squidooing shown by the fact that she spent a lot of time on it in the past year.  I know she did a lot of it when she wasn't feeling well, but she was very determined.   Which we all know as she became a Giant Squid.

I am so sorry to hear this and my prayers go out to her family and friends.

Sad news. I never came across her here on Squidoo, but my sympathies go out to her family.

Pam is a friend on my yahoo IM.  I had it open this morning and that is how her daughter contacted me.  I've wondered the same thing about my online friends,  how would I know if something happened to them.  Lots of times family members aren't that aware of our online friends.  Maybe it would be good to keep a list of people to notify and how to reach them if anything happened to you.

There always seems to be a way.  I've been in communities before when there is a loss of a member.  Usually it seems that they usually have one person who is able to conveys the message like Pam's daughter had done.

I didn't know her, but it is sad to hear.

Last week I was on a plane from Newark to Raleigh and hit two of the worst air pockets I have ever experienced.  I thought we could go down.  And I wondered if my friends here, the ones who knew I traveled that route, would put two and two together when they heard the news of the crash.  lol

But it is an issue, people we know on line just disappearing.

Oh no! This is terrible news...I didn't know her either, but I've come across her lenses a few times. My thoughts will go out to her and her family during this difficult time.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Pam during her run to Giant Stardom here on Squidoo. I got to spend a good deal of time getting to know her while I gave her help and tips for her squidoo pages. Plus she was a co blogger on our group blog. She was a great person who was friendly and a fast learner on squidoo stuff. She was always so positive and became a great friend. I will miss her dearly. I hope your heaven is a wonderful place Pam. Best wishes to her dear husband and family during this hard times.
