I'm moved by Pamela's obituary and the mention that she was an advocate for medical aid in dying in Ohio. It inspires me to make a donation in her honor and continue the fight for MAID in my state.

My sincere condolences to you Stephen, and all of Pamela's family. What a remarkable person Pamela was. I enjoyed the times I spent with her. I was struck by how she was living life as fully as possible even with all she was going through. I'm saddened by our loss but will take away memories of her incredible smile and sense of purpose. Our organization is humbled that she chose to include us and we'll keep moving forward in her memory. Sincerely, Lisa Vigil Schattinger, Ohio End of Life Options
