Oh My,
Paula…….you know what we shared. You changed my life and made me so very happy. I cannot say how distraught I am about your passing. I remember you all of the time as a friend and girlfriend who was always eager to help me. The Bible says that we will see friends and family in Heaven as a gift from the Father. I will see you then. Meanwhile my world is lonelier and I feel so very sad that ” one of the best people ” that I really loved is for now gone.

Loved her. A kind, generous, sweet, wise person. A pleasure to talk to, a privilege to have known her. So sad. Too soon. So great a loss.
As word spread to her friends and classmates in NJ there was an outpouring of sorrow for Paula, a smart, caring and beautiful woman.
My brother Victor (Santa Barbara, CA ) and I (Boston, MA) send our condolences and love to Paula’s family. Blessings.
