a Pam and Jack bump.
Sending Pam huge hugs of support from Telluride, seeing Jack's twinkle as I type. I wish we were on an easier road Pam - some stretches will seem smooth and some are so so bumpy.
Hang in there,
Kathy in Telluride

It's easy to see why Jack had that twinkle in his eye; you're a beautiful woman Pam, inside & out. Big hugs and big love to you.

Hey Pam, You may not remember me, but I have such fond memories of you and Jack back in the Alpine house in late 80's. Your writing about Jack made me cry hard! I always so admired your relationship. I still have a bunch of old gear of Jack's that he was going to chuck when cleaning out the basement at 1341. I'll treasure it now... Much love, -wayne

Just emerging from an incommunicado state in Patagonia. Such sad news. Jack was a very accomplished climber an an all around nice guy. He had a gentle aura that complimented his hard guy image. Take care Pam, my thoughts are with you.

Wayne, nice to hear from you! I remember when you got back from Europe I think, and we dealing with jet lag. I remember getting up to let Scout out very early (3-ish) in the morning. I was standing in the living room by that side door, totally naked, when I hear you coming down the stairs. I immediately jumped out the door, only to find myself now standing OUTSIDE, completely naked! :-) Anyway, I think that was you! :-)

Pam,
It was a very fitting and moving memorial for Jack.
You are an amazing person with abundant strength that will allow you to go forward. This was clear when you spoke so eloquently at the memorial.

Just want to remind those of you who may not know, there are videos of Jack's memorial. The cost? Contributing to Jack's fund. (Details above). If you would like one (1 hr 25 minutes), contact me or BrassNuts. It's quite lovely.

Reading the most recent posts.... still can't believe it is really true. I can't imagine what this is like for Pam. I ache for you dear friend. I know how strong you are. I know you will be okay. I also know that this loss is unlike anything you have ever known. Sure wish I was closer. Jeff too. We want to wrap you in the arms of love and hold you tight.
I hate knowing I won't ever see Jack again in the ways I knew him. I miss his wry smile and knowing look... I think Jack loved climbing in a really profound and special way. Can't say I've ever known anyone else to love it just that way. He was profoundly satisfied in the mountains and at home with Pam. He truly had it all.
Love to you Pam. See you soon. We'll be out in CO at the end of Feb.
xo,
Connie

Just watched the video of the whole thing that brassnuts put together....it's really great!!! I can only think that if Jack was able to see it, I bet he was totally confused. As Connie and I discussed today, I bet he was thinking, "geez, isn't this my 60th birthday party? Why is everyone so sad?? I still can't wrap my mind around this.........
love to all,
pam
