Pam and I starting working for the Ops dept together in 1993 – me for the Director and her for the dept. We e-mailed and talked all the time. We built a friendship. We met for dinners (always Santa Fe in Forest Hills), Broadway shows, she attended my wedding in 1995. I left Cantor in 1998 and we remained friends. We lost touch in early 2000 shortly after the birth of my son. I regret that now – I have thought of her often – wondering how she is and if she was still at Cantor. She was very bright, vivacious, and devoted. I shall miss her.
My husband, Matt, worked with Pam on the Portfolio Trading desk. He’d often tell me what a diligent worker she was – she was a great help to him. I’d talk to her several times a week and she always had something pleasant to say. We will miss all of you and we will never forget you.
I did not personally know Pamela, but I am very familiar with her story, because of my good friend Christiana Yu. I was very near her that day, and it hurt me a lot, in fact in changed my life forever. I have since become a soldier in the U.S. Army, and during Basic Training this summer, I carried a copy of the NY Times Portrait of her during every step of my basic training. “Taking it in Stride” was a huge inspiration to me, and I showed it to my fellow soldiers. I named my M-16 “Pamela” in her honor, and I told her story to many, including my youngest brother Jon, who went to the combat zone as a U.S. Marine. I know we will never be able to change what has happened, but please know there are thousands of soldiers like me and Marines like my brother Jon who are ready, willing and able to risk their lives for Pamela’s memory, and it is on our minds daily. We will never forget her, and we will always respect her memory, as well as your pain and suffering, as we fight for freedom and justice. Please know that she helped me every step of the way this summer at Fort Sill, Ok, and she inspired my brother Jon on the U.S.S. WASP in the Middle East. God Bless you!
Pam and I met about 5 years ago when she came out to California to help out at the Century City office. We took a kayaking class at the UCLA aquatic center together. She was always such an active and fun person who enjoyed life to the fullest. Her apartment was at the marina, so I used to meet her there and we’d play tennis. She was a vibrant young lady with lots of promise. I always knew she would be success. My prayers are with her family. God Bless Her!
I first “met” Pam in 1999. My manager traded with her and Ro a lot. Over time, our conversation went beyond the trades to travel, school, restaurants, etc. Pam was a sweet, kind, intelligent and hard-working woman.
Though we did not get together socially very often, I was lucky to have spent her 30th birthday with her. It was a wonderful night, filled with laughter and joy. This is the way I want to remember her.
Pam, please know that you will always be missed.
