Tributes

Pem passed away, suddenly, the 18th of December, 2007. She was just in the middle of her life and her work. The last text that she wrote was her post over "Saint Nicholas": "I'm so happy that I've just included Ruben [our grandson] in it," she said to me.

Saturday 22th was her burial. It was a beautiful day, the trees were made ripen by the light. It was like if Nature was holding its breath.

One thing is clear from the reactions that we have received: Pem touched the heart of many people. On this site we publish the Tributes that were read during the service, including the reaction that we received from her publisher.
