Dearest PK....oh, the memories of 5 of us in unending petticoats crammed into our carpool to school...I remember you were always waiting outside your beautiful Shirley Ave house, always on time. I´m late with these condolences but certainly there´s always time for loving thoughts. Our families were bound together by music and you and I carried on the tradition from our hearts and souls! I´m remembering the beautiful peonies you sent me shortly after my daughter Lisa was born. I treasured that because you and I hadn´t been in touch for awhile. I´m in Texas now, in a senior apartment complex near Lisa who has lived in Austin the past 7 years. I like it very much, even being around a bunch of "old people." Smile. Blessings on all these memories. Much love always, Diana Lee

I used to read about her in Tiger Beat the teen magazine. She was so pretty. Time is a thief. Live your best life. We get but one.

I was so fortunate to count both Paula and her sister, Julie, among my good friends. We shared the same love for the music of the Big Band Era, and our sarcasm was bound to get us into trouble someday! LOL R.I.P. Paula. I miss you.

Of all my classmates, I was looking forward to seeing Paula the most. She was beautiful, gracious, and friendly, and I always enjoyed our conversations. In our last email exchange she told me that she was always called "P.K." too. I will miss her deeply.

Paula,
I will miss you everyday until we meet again in Heaven. You are now singing your beautiful songs for the Heavenly Kingdom along with your Mom, Dad and Martha. You showed great strength, love, compassion, wicked sense of humor and beauty to everyone you met. Save me a seat next our Lord and Savior. Janie
