Pam was my friend. We had never met in person but she brightened my mornings via Words With Friends. We shared daily triumphs and trials ( think freezer gushing water) and had a little shared background since my father lived in Palmer a Lake and my sister lived for a while in Colorado Springs. My heart goes out to her family and I think about her every morning.

Pam and Doug 're-homed' my spare Little Free Library in front of their wonderful home. Pam's life is a tribute to reading, compassion and family.
