Although I haven't seen Paula in many years I always remembered her. She was such a nice kid when I was growing up with Rita and Helene in Cambridge on Allston St. After all these years I still keep in touch with Rita. She let me know about Paula and I am so sorry for her loss. Hope God will give you the strength to accept His Will for Her.
