Although sadden to hear of Pamela’s transition, her and Dwight life was like a storybook romance. From high school until they both transitioned within weeks of each other. They were a beautiful couple. Together in life as well as in eternity. To the family, you will have so many wonderful memories and stories to share to keep her memory alive. Because as a friend of the family since the 50’s, I can think of the great times we always had growing up together on the Southside of Racine. All of you will be in our daily thoughts and prayers. Be blessed.

Dear family sadden by the passing of your beloved. Seems like I’ve known her most of my life. We became Facebook friends and I’d always let her know I was praying for her and we’d talk when she was getting her chemo to her and her best friend Dwight. What a couple. Think oftener of all of your good memories. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
