Great times with Pam
Pam was always so nice to me when I worked at Belkin. I will never forget the time she wanted me to hot laminate her granddaughters ultrasound pictures. I had no clue that you can not hot laminate ultrasound paper, because when you do it turns the picture all black. I felt so horrible, but when I went to tell her what had happened, she wasn’t upset at all. She will be missed. ~Joy (Poynter) Harris, former Receptionist

My heart is heavy with sadness at the passing of this wonderful and loving lady. I didn’t know her well but what I do know about her is she never had a mean thing to say about anyone. She will be missed by all who knew her
