Rest in Peace
I am still stunned that Pam has died. I met her in the early 2000s when she was teaching ACLS. Pam was the best. I could always ask her questions and was so happy to see her each time we met. Later, when she became an RN I was one of her instructors...I had to laugh; she was so great I wasn't sure I could teach her much. I haven't seen Pam in years, but always followed her on FB. Pam, your death is such a great loss.
I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Pam as long as the others but I thank God for the time I did have with this amazing person.
I met Pam in 2022 when I started working night shifts with her and I clicked with her immediately. We both had EMS backgrounds and the standard issue, warped sense of humor that comes from all of that. One night I said, “Pam, you’re like the big sister I never had”. She immediately responded with her quick chuckle and “And you’re like the little sister I never wanted”. 😂😂😂. Her humor and wit made the night shift that much more enjoyable. She was more than funny, however. She also had compassion, consideration, and brilliance.
Pam was supernatural in her abilities. She could command the room’s attention with a subtle “ahem”. She could soothe a wildabeast (or a really upset patient) with a few aptly phrased questions and comments. She could uplift the downtrodden with her compassionate spirit and her gentle manner of encouragement. I could go to her with any issues and I knew that she’d listen without judgement and mentor without criticism.
There will never be another Pam, and for that, I feel sorry for everyone else who was robbed of having Pam in their life. I will never be able to thank her for all of the ways that she touched my life but in her honor, I will try to exemplify the exceptional caliber of human, nurse, teacher, friend, mentor, and friend that she was.
I love you, Pammy.
I miss you Pam. I will always cherish our nights working together, you always gave me the confidence I needed to be a good nurse. I knew I could come to you if I needed advice about anything, personal or professional. May you rest in peace my friend.
Pam was studying for her paramedic finals. A mutual friend and I were on the ambulance that day. After a call we decided to drop by and lend her support on our way back into service. As luck would have it we received a dispatch for another call. I got the ambulance stuck in the wash of her front yard. 🤣 While Pam grabbed some boards to place under the wheels of the unit my partner got in the driver seat. She told me you got us into this mess you get to push us out. Needless to say we were able to free the ambulance and begin to respond. Lol, we were canceled for a closer unit! This is just one story, And I am blessed to have known Pam Lawson.
From Winnie the Pooh: how lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Pamela Jane, my namesake, a compassionate nurse, a loving mom, and my sweet, sweet niece. How you will be missed around the table! We are now not so many miles apart. You are right here in my heart.
Pam you were such an amazing person! So freaking funny and full of nursing knowledge. I was blessed to have gotten to know you and spent time with you. I’m sorry we didn’t keep in touch when I moved away but I often thought of the fun times we shared. You will forever be missed. Love you Pam!
