Although No word is enough to help you take away your pain, but our Heavenly Father can give the strength and the comfort to those with a broken heart. Psalms 9:9. May you be granted the inner peace to help you cope with your loss. Our thoughts are with you; Please accept our sincere condolences.

David - My condolences. Paula was a hero to so many and she was a mentor to many students through Botany-In Action. I remember taking her to the Amazon. On that trip she met my student Mike Gilmore and that made all the difference as she became a mentor, funder, and cheerleader of his research in the Amazon which continues to this day. She also funded another of my students, Sushma Shrestha, from Nepal. I feel fortunate to have known her and to have shared a few brief moments with her....

Our hearts go out to the family at this sorrowful time.

To the Sculley Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

May mercy and peace and love be increased to you during this sad and difficult time. Jude 2.

I first met Paula when on the board of Phipps Conservancy and Botanical Gardens over 20 years ago. Her dedication to Botany in Action and many other environmental issues impacting our lives was remarkable. She was always a delight to be with and will be missed.
