on the passing of a dear friend

A loved, creative, vibrant member of the Black Wood Jazz team died today after a long battle with cancer. 

Pam put the invitations together for Black Wood Jazz spaces, and energetically posted them in supermarkets all over Blackwood in the week leading up to an event. 

Her haiku and images were often a feature of either the invitations or the spaces, sometimes both, inviting us into the mystery that is God. 

I remember the first time Daniel Lee and friends played at a Black Wood Jazz space, Pam and I looked at each other and nodded - this was the mood we'd been seeking. 

We will forever remember Pam's creative spark, her energy and enthusiasm, her love and care for people, and her courage in the face of adversity. 

Rest in the peace of the Divine, dear friend, and may we be always united in the Song of God.
