To the family of Paula Crockett,
I am so sorry to hear the news of Paula's passing. She was one of the kindest people I knew. She had that sweetest "Swedish" personality and the patience of a saint. I worked with Paula at Fallon and also played her hairdresser for years. She was a woman with a huge heart who loved her family deeply and always put everyone elses needs before her own. I had a great respect for her courage and strength, and admired her humble personality. I have no doubt that she is in the greatest place of all. She will be missed deeply here on earth.

My sincere condolences to her family.
