Paula and I shared much time together when we both lived on Phoenix Ave. Although my heart is heavy...I can't help but smile. I will cherish the memories of the time we spent together. Paula loved her girls immensely and her family was her priority. Her laughter was contagious! And she didn't mince her words...she spoke her mind. I know she's up there looking down, not wanting us to make a big deal of her passing. That's the kind of person she was. Tess & Liz....please find comfort knowing she is in Gods Glory! Fly high with the angels my friend! You will be truly missed and always remembered. My condolences to her family during this difficult time. Much love, peace & prayers. Rena

To: Paula's Family

Paula and I was best friends in Elementary school. Paula just recently called me to let me know the she was engaged. I was so happy for her. I could hear the peace and happiness in her voice. I told her, to let me know and I would fly up from North Carolina just to be there for her.

When I heard about Paula's passing I was truly saddened. Let your memories of your Mother, Daughter and Sister life provide you with the comfort you need during this challenging time.
May the Angel's walk with you on this day, and hold and keep you until the pain goes away!

{Paula , you will always be my best friend, until we meet again}
