      It is odd the way things work .fascinated by the occult not knowing who designed the standard tarot deck and discovering johnny come lately style breaking bad and loving it Brian Cranston appears out of seemingly no where coincidence but then subject matter too .

    So lovely to see people giving pixie the recognition she desrves. An extraordinaryily talented and forward thinking woman. I bellieve she was buried in an unmatrked grave, which seems desperately sad to me.

      It's very true - and very sad - that Pamela ended up in an unmarked grave. However, she's not totally lost - we very much know that she is buried at St Michael’s and All Angels Church at Bude in Cornwall, England. We know of many who take unofficial pilgrimages to her final resting place, and are endlessly thankful to all those who keep Pamela's memory alive :).

    And like there not always the same full stops on different sides sometimes there two sometimes there’s none ... and there at the top and are different shouldn’t her mark be always the same or similar not so indefinite am not sure new to this trying to understand why someone would sing there name different in almost every one a get the smallest one hard to fit in pictures but emmmm not sure any one know

    I guess "from man to man" meant maybe "from human to human" cause "man" is often used for "human".
