My friend, Paula, I just learn of your death, how I wish, I had been there with you. Your death caught me off guard, but I know you are rejoicing in God's Kingdom, where we all hope to be one day. I will always remember your last visit to my home in Atlanta, Ga., I remember the fun we had just talking about our days at Paine College, sitting on the outside deck in 35-degree weather at 2:00 AM and most of all, your sound advice that you always gave to me. My friend, I will miss you. I know you are in company with Christ who died, for us, so we can wipe all our tears away. As we know, those who die still live in God's presence, their lives change but do not end. I pray in hope for the Fordham family: your daughter, mom, dad, sister, nephew, niece and all others. May the Peace of Christ be with them...
Your Friend,

Paula was a beautiful person and will be missed dearly. I had the pleasure of working with her at Cox Communications for a while. She was always pleasant and professional. She was always ready to express her faith in God. My wife who was also her classmate and I had opportunity to pray with her some weeks ago. Her faith was strong but now she is resting in the arms of the Lord.
