Dear to Diane's heart was Pimpollo, a children’s home in Juchitan, Mexico. The photo above shows Diane on one of our trips there working her face painting magic on the kiids.
Also you probably do not know that Diane's grandmother, Jesse Trueworthy, ran an orphanage, the Paul Clark Home, in Butte, Montana for many years in the 1940s' and 50s'. Diane often recounted vivid memories of spending time there as a child, right down to the squeak of the bed springs in the frigid upstairs girls dormitory.
As one of her final wishes, Diane asked that I make a donation to Pimpollo in her name. As some have asked, if you would like to join me you may do so by going online to FriendsofPimpollo.org making a donation and noting in the "Comments" field Diane Hamm Memorial. You may also send a check care of Friends of Pimpollo to:

What a wonderful way to honor Diane. Thank you for this connection...
I checked out one of Diane's books from the library today, and plan on enjoying it this week: Daughter of Suqua. I look forward to this very much! My 18 year old son will be going to college this autumn in Squamish, BC and I have always wanted to know more about the tribes that once lived in BC...
Blessings~
Thanks Jeff. I was going to ask because we have our conference next weekend and I wanted to let folks know how we can honor her memory in a special way.
Best to you,
Robin
Thank you for an incredible Memorial Service today; such a beautiful experience for us to honor Diane and to see what an amazing family you all are.
I really really appreciated it when Valarie read from Diane's own writing about Mortality. Her words rang so true, and so deep.
Also... just finished the Daughter of Suqua (loved it!!) and got portions of the book in my little notepad~ a nice little synchronicity, indeed.
Bless you each and every one.
