Memorial to Pamela Jo Marquardt

Pamela Jo was my friend, companion and wife nearly 28 years. The bond between us was steel. We traveled, fished, hunted, took long walks, did time on the beach, saw four grandchildren enter our lives, and never had a bad moment or a bad day. On our anniversary, March 7, 2009 Pam thought she had pulled a muscle in her stomach which would be one of the very few times she had an ache or pain. Soon thereafter Pam was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and was told she had a very short time to live - she could not be saved. She said, "Maybe so, but I will not quit." And she did not.
