Thank you Rosemary Harber, for the following:
Mark, Sorry to be bringing you this kind of news. I got a call tonight (1/23) from Mrs. Despain. She gave me the heartbreaking news that Pam died this morning. Pam had been diagnosed with colon cancer in March of 2010. She had undergone treatment and was doing well until this past fall. The cancer had spread to other organs and she went downhill very quickly. I believe Mrs. Despain said it was about a week ago that Pam's doctors told her she had about 5 weeks to live. That prognosis quickly changed to days, then hours. She was only in hospice for 1 day. Mrs. Despain, Brian, and David were all with Pam when she died. There will be an obituary in the Times-Call later this week. Lee told me that there would be a visitation this Friday (1/27) from 11:00 - 1:00 at Howe Mortuary, then a graveside service at 2:00 on Friday at Mountain View Cemetary. They plan on having a memorial at Pam's church in Aurora on Saturday, but they don't have the details yet.
