    Our sincere sympathy to the Walper Family. You have lost a very special lady, a wife, mother, and grandma whom each of you cherish. She always had a smile and a positive comment. She cared! In your sorrow, your happy memories of Pam will help you move forward. I remember a conversation we shared about each having a grandson named Henry, and the joy of family. Our prayers and sympathy are with you. Sincerely, Robert and Alma Westlake

    I never met. Pam in person but we would wave every afternoon just outside of Lucan as she was going home and I’d be going to pick up my students at school I always thought I would like to meet her some place where we could talk as she always had a big wave and a big smile. You are all in my thoughts and prayers

    We will dearly miss this loving woman. She was an awesome bus driver for our kids. Our oldest daughter, Makenna was the only one on her bus in the mornings of last year.

I do know we are here to support and love each other and that would be important to Pam. She loved her family. Pam was always so warm and caring towards others. I loved her smile, her laughter, her fun times and always made you feel so welcome into her home. She will be missed very much. As you struggle in your grief, I hope that all of the fond memories and wonderful times together over all of these years brings you comfort. Losing your loved one, your mother and grandma is difficult but remembering all the joyous times helps heal the pain.

    My sympathy to all the friends and family. Pam was my bus driver all through public and high school. Always a smile on her face. She made riding the bus enjoyable. She definitely loved her job and loved all of us kids. She definitely will be missed. I know that a lot of people from bus 14 that went to Usborne and South Huron from 1990ish to 2000 will be saddened with the news of her passing. Know that she will always be with you and take comfort in that thought.
