Just over a week ago I lost a long time friend, Pam Soloman. It was almost 20 years ago that she hired me to work at The Coverlook at the Fashion Place mall, it became one of my favorite jobs and I was blessed to have Pam as an example in my life.
Over the years I have continued to work for her in her own studio, and she has taken many pictures of our family, including the birth of our little Aspen.
It was just a few weeks ago that I saw her for the last time, I went in to work for her & we chatted about doing family pictures soon. How grateful I am to have had that last opportunity to see her.
Attending her funeral was difficult and heartbreaking, but inspiring as well. As sniffles filled the room, her 3 boys talked about their love for their beautiful mama, and to hear her husband Scott talk about his sweetheart, and his knowledge of their forever family, I left inspired to be better. To show more unconditional love as she did to everyone she met. I left with a resolution to be a better wife and a more kind and patient mother. Someday, when it's my turn to return home, I hope that my children will have the same sweet words to say about me.
Pam was beautiful inside and out and her influence was lasting. She will be greatly missed.
