Guestbook

  1. Pam and kids. I am so saddened by the death of your beloved Mom and Grandmother. She adored you more than you will ever know! She was so proud of all of you and all of your great accomplishments. You were a lucky family to be loved by Carley, she never hesitated to let everyone know how much she loved you. Pam you were her rock and her pride and joy. She talked about you with such high regard about what a great person you are, a great mother and a wonderful daughter. She said even seeing your house across the course was comforting to her. Her wit and knowledge and beautiful smile will definitely be missed. She was a great friend!

  2. My heart goes out to you for the loss of your much loved mom. I know your happy memories as well as your mother’s strength will help you through this difficult time. We’re keeping you and your family in our prayers.

  3. Pam, sorry to hear your mom passed away. We will miss seeing her at all the girl’s hockey games. She was a great hockey fan.
    Happy to know she will be reunited with your dad. Our prayers are with your family.

  4. My heartfelt sympathies and love go out to Pam, Ken, Lindsey, Cailen, and Anika for the lose of their beloved mother and grandmother. I also want to express my condolences to Paul. Carlene was such a wonderful person and friend. It’s always hard losing that last parent. Earlier this month I had talked to Carlene and as always she had nothing but kind words to share. Jan and I had so many good times together with Carlene and Duane and they were truly our best friends. I was also very honored to be Pam’s godfather and to experience what a loving daughter and mother she has become. Pam you were always there for your mother even at the end and when Carlene and I last talked she said she didn’t know what she would do without you.
    God bless you!

  5. There really aren’t words to say how saddened we are by your mom’s passing. She was a wonderful friend and responsible for the place we love so much on Big Floyd Lake. Pam, you were the most loving daughter, best friend and angel on earth for your mom. She loved you more than anything. We shared our love of dogs and grandkids! I will miss her but have fond memories to cherish.

  6. I am so sorry for your loss of your very special mother. She was an Inspirational lady. She was my go to realtor I would call her up and she would find just what was needed. More than that she was mom and my friend. She would come in to drop off her jewelry for their regular cleanings. I would then catch up on Dewy and all the grand kids.
    She will be missed by everyone who new her. She was a fine person. I was proud to call her my friend. May God bless you and all your family threw this hard time. Sincerely,
    Calette

  7. Fred and I offer our sincere condolences to Pam & Paul and their families.
    Carlene was my first cousin and dearest friend. Although we lived miles apart distance did not separate us. We were best text pals. Her messages most always included Lindsey, Cailen, & Anika’s activities. She was so proud of their accomplishments. She frequently mentioned Pam & Ken and how helpful they were to her. My husband and I traveled to Mandan July 2018. Carlene drove to Mandan so we could spend a day together. We had a wonderful visit. Thoughtful Carlene made sure other cousins knew I was in town. I’ll miss Carlene now & forever. Edna Mae Kautzmann Zerza
