Support for the Van Riper Family

Our friend Pam Van Riper passed away on June 12th after her couragous fight with glioblastoma. She left behind four beautiful children and a loving husband. She made such an impact on this community and everyone she met adored her. Her smile could light up a room and she never knew a stranger. Pam was diagnosed in March of 2020 and managed to maintain as much normalcy as she could through her battle, including being a teachers aide at Olentangy schools. She did all of this while tackling several brain surgeries, radiation and chemo treatments. She never wavered in her determination and always had a positive outlook. Pam was always reluctant to accept help because she never wanted to be a burden. We have heard of so many people who want to help and we wanted to set up this go fund me page as a way for people to help the family with their mounting expenses. We know how many people love the Van Ripers and want to show them their support. Thank you in advance for your donations and kindness and love and prayers for this wonderful family.
