This is certainly one of those deaths that makes an impact. Such an amazing generous woman. Pam and Kent were an integral part of my decision to become a Christian in my early 20s. The love of Christ passed on through them and especially Pam really impacted me at a young age. I remember a camp at Port Waikato that they ran that really touched me. I know that she will have an abundance of blessings awaiting her and can not wait to embrace again one day. Rest now good and faithful servant xxx
I think my swollen eyes, missed me typing Rebecca’s name. Sorry! Hugs and Love to you too, Doll.
Lovely service for a WONDERFUL Lady! 🌻 Much Love, Kent, Kara, Jo & the extended Wright Family. From Japan
Sending you so much love. Thinking & praying for you in Herefordshire, England
We are grateful and have been blessed through knowing Pam as family. Her unending kindness and overflowing generosity are enduring memories. The loving partnership she shared with Kent was an example to all. She will always be held in high regard by all of us in the Australian branch who knew her. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Proverbs 31:28-29 We give thanks for the great mercy God has shown her by taking her to be with Him in Christ forever. But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 1 Thessalonians 4:13 We look forward to the Day Christ comes when we will see her again. May Kent and Pam’s whole family find real comfort in Christ’s promises for her.
Fond memories of our time at Pukekawa Playcentre and the numerous Garden Circle trips. A most kind and caring lady. Love and condolences Elly and Martin Good and family.

Dearest Pam, We feel so privileged that you have been part of our lives. Despite the short time we have been able to spend with you in person, you have had a huge impact on us all. Your joyfulness, energy and positivity influenced all around you. Your philosophy and wisdom have guided us and we will really miss you. Your beautiful spirit will live on in your wonderful family. May you rest in peace.
Pam and all the Wright family. My thoughts are with you all at this time. I am remembering all our shared moments as neighbours, friends and family. Lots of love from Seb, Steph and Octavia.
Sending you all my thoughts at such a tough time, I have many lovely childhood memories of Pam and feel grateful to have had that time. Take care of each other and sending you all a hug, much love Heidi
‘The Wright Place’ has always been a place of refuge for all. And as someone who grew up alongside the Wright tribe, Pam’s motherly presence meant the world to me, especially during those difficult pre-adult years. You were a gorgeous woman who I adored and whose beautiful qualities now live today in your children. From the bottom of my heart I say thank you.
Thinking of you all at this time. Pam was a shining light and help to all who knew her. Her garden was a delight and it and food was always shared with everyone. Love to you all.
Pam you are a truly gracious, kind and caring lady. I'll always remember your radiant smile and infectious giggle(especially whilst reading Wonky Donkey to my kids.) .Moe mai ra beautiful lady.
