To the Marinak Family I'm so sorry to for your loss. I just heard of Paula's passing. As friends in high school Paula and I had some fun times. I will always remember her brilliant mind, infectious laugh and sharp wit. I am grateful to have been her friend. I will always think of her fondly.

Paula was my first and most faithful penfriend! I received her address in 1991 in a penpal program at school - it was meant to improve our English skills- and we had been exchanging letters since then. Thank you my friend for your beautiful friendship! Me and my family will never forget you. Rest in peace! Yours, Dominika from Germany

Paula was a member of our church. Every time we saw her she had a smile on her face. Even with everything she had to endure. She will be missed at Trinity Global Methodist Church. We are keeping her family in our prayers.

It was a perfect fit for her and she served as a special inspiration to individuals with physical disabilities as they endeavored to find their places in the working world. Paula had a bright, positive personality and was a pleasure to have in our office. I will always...

So sorry for the loss of your daughter, sister, aunt, friends--every time I saw her she always had a smile on her face. I am glad that my Allison got to spend a little bit of time with her a few weeks ago and also when she was at the re-hab when she took our dear Hanky to cheer her up--he is our son, Todd's special service dog. I am so glad that she got another puppy-service dog and I am sure Stella--I think that is the name was a little bright spot in her life and will be to all of you. ...
