Paula Danielle McDonald

It's been a long time since I've seen my cousin, Danny, but trust that Susan and I have the entire family in our prayers. We are both educators and as we read all of these wonderful entries we see what a powerful and positive influence Paula was on her students. It is obvious that she was loved by her students and co-educators and will be sorely missed. We are thinking of all of you in your loss.

Danny, Barbra and Sharon
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I have many fond memories of Paula from growing up together, high school, high school band, and hanging out with each other on the weekends. Paula will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
God Bless You and Your Family
Sincerely
Bret, Donelle, Devin, and Brantson Gieselman

I too was in the NC State marching band with Paula. She gave me my nickname, 'Tweety'. I never did seem to shake that nickname even today. She was a great friend who always brought a smile to those around her. She will be deeply missed by all those who knew her. My deepest sympathies to Paula's family and loved ones.

We pray for peace of mind for the surviving family. God spirit of love is the Great Comforter. As you release Paula into God's gentle care, and you are lifted to a greater experience of peace.

I will miss "Princess" Paula and pray for her family during this difficult time. Princess and I were fellow sax players in the NCSU marching band. She is a part of the greatest memories I made in college, and a dear friend. I am deeply saddened.

To the McDonald Family: you are in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time of your life, but she is in a better place now. I have tons of high school memories that come to mind when I think of Paula, she was a great person to be around.
