Debra Wagenecht asked Pamela Richards:

I notice that your giveaways are always around the anniversary of Rich's tragic death. Is that intentional?

Pamela Richards I've offered giveaways at other times of the year, but yes, this is one of the ways I honor Richard's yahrzeit. I also often light a traditional candle for him and frequently I'll travel to his grave 80 miles from my home to add a stone to it. I began this little observance because in the Jewish faith, which Richard admired so much, it is customary on this anniversary to do a good deed in the name of the one who has departed to keep his name alive. I have written Singing from Silence to pass on even a fraction of the hope, meaning and purpose Richard's life gave to me, so I am grateful on this anniversary to freely share a number of copies with the public. Thank you for caring enough to ask.
