Please remember Our Friend....

[Pennie 26]

"My heart is filled with

sadness……I wanted to contact each and everyone

of you; to let you know that Pam Sander died Saturday evening…….

 

There are never the right

words to express how deeply sad I am that we have to endure this loss….Pam will

truly be missed by everyone who knew her no matter where they crossed her path

in life.....

 

We all knew that Pam was a

giver, never a taker. She was always

there to help no matter how hectic her schedule was; no matter the time of day;

and, never asking or needing anything in return.

 

Friends like Pam are few in

life and it is with a heavy heart that I also grieve with her family’s loss.

 

Her friendship meant the

world to me, and I couldn’t have asked for a more genuine friend than Pam. Memories

of our times together regardless of

where we where or what we were doing will be forever cherished..

 

As each one of you take time out to remember

your encounters with Pam; may your memories bring you comfort in the days

ahead."

 

from Dorothea Brewer

 

Pam was my mentor and a cherished friend..

If not for Pam .. there would probably be no Activity Directors Network, I probably would not have made Activities my lifes career without her help and encourgement.

I think of the hundreds of residents that I loved and cared for and who loved and cared for me in return.. The families whose lives were a little more at ease because they knew their family member was well taken care of .. one persons life touches so many..

Pam taught me that compliance was a path to compasion, a rather strange concept .. but one Activity Directors understand completely...

She will forever be missed in our family..
