As a member of Milt's Atlanta Trane office my wife and I were invited to their wedding and reception at her father's home. Over the years we traveled together as a group, and I was fortunate to be able to maintain our friendship. She was president of Atlanta Rotary the year that I joined, and I enjoyed seeing her over the following 25 years. I had tremendous respect for her brilliance and her many accomplishments over the years.

I was deeply saddened by Paula´s passing. She was a remarkable participant and leader in too many spheres to mention, as is clear from her outstanding biography. I had the great privilege to work with her and Milton at the Southern Center for International Studies as Atlanta became an international city. Her contribution to building Atlanta was inestimable. My condolences to her family. She will be deeply missed. Cedric Suzman

Dear Justin, Christian, Mary-Laurence, and George, This news is devastating and I wish we still lived in GA so we could tell you in person what an extraordinary mom you have. Paula's intelligence, wit, optimism, kindness, and generosity were without equal. I loved and admired her and felt privileged to call her my friend. Her knack for bringing out the best in people made us come away feeling warm, supported, and buoyant. So, so rare. Please know that we are with you in the days and...
