Courtney, Noah and I were remembering Pammie last night by reading the children's book she gave him last Christmas. Its title, I think, says a lot about Pammie's whimsical nature. "A Pig Parade is a Terrible Idea" (http://www.amazon.com/Pig-Parade-Terrible-Idea/dp/1416979220) is quite funny. You might have guessed that from the title. It also doesn't talk down to kids, and is funny for adults, too. If you've ever spoken to Pammie, that won't be surprising.
Pammie never spoke down to Noah, or anyone else that I ever saw. She appreciated everyone for who they were. Her laughter and positive attitude seemed to bring out the best in her many friends. She was a delightful contributor to our book club. She hosted a great solstice party with great conversation and great food -- even when she wasn't in the best of physical shape at this past celebration. She loved to have a drink or two with her meals. She was a good talker and a good listener.
We miss you and love you.
Thanks for sharing this. I will order that book for my nephew and niece, and will think of Pammie when I read it to them. --Kerry
