A Memorial for Pam Porter

I am still in shock from the news of Pam's passing; she would have been 62 on Monday. It is with a sad heart that I attempt to setup this site, but I know I must do something.

I would love for you all to use this blog to share thoughts memories and ideas of how to honor and celebrate Pam's amazing life. I hope to also have the ability to upload pictures and more soon.

I know there are friends and acquaintances all around the world that she has helped out, befriended or touched in some way. When I moved out here on my own, Pam helped me out in ways I was never able to repay; she was not only family, but one of my buddies. I will miss her deeply and wish we and mostly my son could have had her longer. 

I talked with Diane tonight and the thought is to have a bash in Pam's honor on Monday in Denver. This is her birthday and we are not sure how, but we would like to possibly get everyone together at Washington park or somewhere near by. Pam's house is to small for all, but we know many would like to stop in. We could use any and all help with this event and notifying anyone who was a part of Pam's life. Please use this site as you wish, it is here for all to share and enjoy. Love you Pam...

Thank you,

Josh Porter (Pam's Nephew)
