To Paula Kirk family: First met Paula many years ago when she moved to Lawrenceville and found her to be both a beautiful person on the inside and out. She was in sorority with me and later in her life we use to see her and talk to her at the VU Basketball games. Always had that little twinkle in her eyes even though you new she had to feel awful.

Seems like after HS we all go our separate ways, grow apart & wish each other the best but that never takes away the memories that were made. Whether we were headed down 49, cruising the main drag in Casey or playing softball for many different teams, I want to say, THANKS for the memories we made together, Paula.
