Our dear daughter Paula; May you always walk in sunshine & God's love around you flow; for the happiness you gave us no one will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone; a part of us went with you the day God called you home. A million time we've needed you; a million times we've cried. If love could have saved you, you never would have died. Love forever, Mom & Dad

I saw you getting tired and a cure was not yet seen. So, He put His arms around you and whispered, "My child, come with me." I watched and saw you pass away, although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay, A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to strengthen me. He only wants the best! "Precious (costly) in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints" (Psalm 116:15). Lord, strengthen those of us who are left to lament the loss of our loved ones. Remembering Paula, I pray this, in the precious name of Jesus Christ.

When I think of Gail, I think of beauty, so in wishing Paula well, I see Paula as a beautiful white dove flying. We will all miss Paula, but now she is free to be forever happy. I did not know Paula, but I feel that I did through knowing Gail. Gail gives out so much peace and love that I'm sure when Paula left, she took a piece of Gail with her in that forever green branch doves seem to always carry. Love and Peace to you, Paula. Love and Peace to you, Gail, and to your family.
In Christ,
Mary

Dearest Paula, I am happy for you that you are with Jesus and Brian now and your Dad, Fred, Nana, and Grampa. I am happy for your grandson Trevor who was held by you. But I'm a little sad for Robert who really misses you and feels your loss as well as Lucy, Gail, and Danny, your children and grandchildren who also miss you. I look forward to seeing you again in Heaven. Thank you for being a blessing to so many people on the earth. Love, your sister in Christ, Alexa

My dear little sister, Paula, I lost a part of my heart when Brian left and with you now gone I feel like half my heart is missing. Maybe that's what caused the chest pain that I suffered after I heard that you had departed. My only solice is in knowing that I will see you both again. Give my love to the Lord Jesus and to Brian for me. The tears are rolling down my cheeks and they never seem to stop. I know that I'm supposed to be strong but the pain is so deep. I thank God that He comforts those who mourn because I can't do this without Him. I love you.

I (we) are so sorry to hear about Paula. Paula was a beautiful, loving, caring person and will be missed by many. Danny, Jennifer, Miranda, Nini, Robert, Gail, the loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief. I find comfort in knowing they are never gone, they are only a thought away. They have gone ahead of us to make a home for all of us for when we meet them again. Our deepest sympathies from my family to yours. Love you always, Maura, Brian, Michaela and The Martino Family

My dear sister Paula, my heart breaks for losing you. You were so courageous in your battle with cancer. You tried to hang on for the love of your family but finally got too tired and you fell asleep in the arms of Jesus and He took you home with Him where there is no hurt, where there is no more pain. I'll miss you for as long as I live and love you forever. Always in our heart and just a thought away until we meet again, Gail and Barry XO
