I’m prejudiced because this was written by my little sis, but I know she has the Christmas spirit all year long because she cares deeply about others and always acts unselfishly…..Merry Christmas, sis.. You rock ….ho, ho, ho.

Hi Susan. I’m Pam’s first husband; I greatly enjoyed your story about Pam and her influence on you. Pam and I used to reunite occasionally to touch base with each other and stay up-to-date,but I hadn’t seen or heard from her in quite awhile.
When I visited my sister in Cincinnati in July to celebrate our father’ 90th birthday, as well as my sister’s 60th, I was talking to one of my sister’s best friends and classmates at Greenhills High. I mentioned something to him about Pam and how long it had been since I had heard from her. He got a funny look on his face and told me his younger brother was best friends with Pam’s youngest brother, Kirk, and that some one in the family had passed away the year before. I told him I was aware Pam’s father, Robert, had passed, but was unaware of anyone else in the family.
A little later, he came up to me, told me he had called to check with his mother, and that Pam had passed, from he believed, breast cancer. I almost fell over from the combined shock and sadness, and cursed myself for not staying in better touch with her (I had forgotten her second husband’s name was Kirchner).
I had been aware of her rise in the Cincy art scene, and was proud of her achievements, and couldn’t believe she had been taken from us at such a young age.

Pam had a lifelong interest and talent in art. While we were living in North Carolina, she had begun working in collage and decoupage, and had completed a couple of pieces which were on the walls of our home. I told her they were impressive for first efforts, and she might think about doing something with the art form. But with the passing of the years I had forgotten about it until I read your remembrance of her. Since learning of her death, I have been doing web searches using her name and came across your entry; my love and respect for her have only increased. I’m glad she was such an inspiration for you, and I am sure, for others.

We have all been diminished by the loss of Pam, but she will live on in the hearts and memories of those she touched. I hope Zak, Ariel, June, Lee, Kirk and Mindy (her mother and brothers & sister) know those of us who knew and loved her will never forget her.

As Zak wrote, her legacy will live on in people like you and I, who were privileged to have spent some time with her.

Good luck, and continue with your work.

Hi Susan. I’m Pam’s son, Zak. Thanks for sharing this story and congrats on your CAG show! Although we never discussed your work, I’m sure you were not just a blip on her radar. Where ever she is, she’s definitely proud of you and smiling ear to ear over your accomplishments. I’ve shared this post with my Sister and her cousins on Facebook. I’ll also make sure her Mother gets a chance to read it as well when I come in for Thanksgiving. It can be easy to think that the rest of the world has forgotten about her besides my Sister and I, so I really appreciate the reminder that her legacy still lives on in the friends she made along the way. Best of luck to you and I hope your work continues to grow and garner more recognition.
