WedVidTalk Special Edition – Tribute Video to our Fallen Diva the Divine Ms. Pam Andelora

To our shock and deep sorrow we returned from PMA – 08 (where we spent many hours with our friend and colleague Pam Andelora of Andelora Productions) to find that she returned home and on February 10th passed away in her sleep. Pam’s happy, friendly smile is permanently embedded in our souls. Her love of her craft, her passion for the industry, her take no hostages each and every day attitude were contagious, and actually infectious. Pam would put her hand and her heart out to each and every WEVA friend. It was impossible not to love her. She loved us all so well. There will never be another Pam but she left us with such a strong imprint of her spirit that we will take her with us everywhere. This tribute contains her photographs and words from two podcasts that we had the privilege to record with her in August of 2005 and the last podcast we recorded with her and her beloved Tom at PMA08. We will miss her and never pass a dance floor and look at it quite the same way as she taught us that life’s a dance!
