TRANSCRIPT

  • 1. IN MEMORIAM Pamela Day Baldwin

2. Pamela Day Baldwin Devoted mother, loving wife, and friend of all, Pam Balwin was truly exceptional person. Those who met Pam, met a woman who was dedicated to making the world around her a better place. She was dedicated to healing with love, bridging communities with compassion, and to building a future that was fair an inclusive to everyone. Pam served as the Executive Director of the Idaho Interfaith Alliance, and was part of the messaging team with the Idaho Democratic Party. She also served on numerous other boards, believing that by making positive changes at home. Nonetheless she still worked on multiple projects out of state. She was determined to live to her convictions, and inspired us all. 3. My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style Maya Angelou 4. "In the time of your life -- live! That time is short and it doesn't return again. It is slipping away while I write this and while you read it, and the monosyllable of the clock is 'Loss, loss, loss', unless you devote your heart to its opposition. -Tennessee Williams 5. Remembering Pam 6. "Politics is not about power. Politics is not about money. Politics is not about winning for the sake of winning. Politics is about the improvement of people's lives." Senator Paul Wellstone 7. "The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." -Albert Einstein 8. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory[...]that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Williamson 9. Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Robert F. KennedySpecial Thanks to Pams wonderful family, her friends, and everyone who works to make the world better than they found it. 10. Well miss your crazy antics, and passion.
