Our sincere condolences to all of you during this difficult time. You have been terrific to Pat and Chrissy and we appreciate everything you do for them. We will always remember the fun times that the kids have had at your home, as well as, the plays and the concerts. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to see Pat’s football games. It means a great deal to Pat and to us. We have the greatest respect for you and believe that Paula will always watch over you. Please remember as the sadness fades on the outside, the memories on the inside never will.
With sincere gratitude-

Paula was truly an amazing person. She let our kids in her home for several years as if it were their own. Her dedication and hard work at the Peabody High Stage One and Chorus events were seen and felt by all of the kids. Through all of the proms and graduation parties, we will remember her laughter and her comments of how happy she was to see these kids turn from teenagers to young adults. As we all know it wasn’t easy all the time, but because of her support and guidance, she made it easier. We want to thank Paula for giving my kids the memories that will last a lifetime.
Sincerely,
Stephen Ruggiero

Last week we all lost an amazing person in a very unfair way. Paula was taken from us way to soon but I believe that everything happens for a reason. She left behind a huge and quite incredible family. She touched so many people that the three day ceremony had lines out the door and around the corner to pay their respects. I have only really been close with Paula for about four years but in those four years I honestly believe that she changed me as a person. Whether it was something she did for me or someone else I constantly saw her giving without ever a thought of what she would get out of it. Not only did I see how amazing she was through her acts but through the way she raised her beautiful daughters. Maybe we all didn’t realize how much of an impact she had on us until she was gone, which really hurts. When we had the opportunity to say how much we appreciated her we often let it pass us by but it didn’t make her stop or even slow down. She just keep doing what she did best; helping people. She wanted everyone to feel comfortable around her. She wanted to know everyone and made it a point to make sure she did. This characteristic is seen through her daughters now more then ever. For some one who just lost her mother you will see Kelly being just as good a friend and person as ever. I have seen her put her grieving aside to attend to her sister. I have known Kelly for about seven years and watched her grow into the most amazing woman and friend. So of all the amazing things Paula did for me and for others that is the one I thank her for the most. Giving me a friend closer then a sibling. The whole crew of us that was constantly at the house as if we lived there will make it our personal responsibility to help Kelly and Duke with Becca and anything she might need (although I know you will see be there for her too). We’ll be sure to keep Mac out of the trash and stay on Kevin about getting back to school. There so many things that you did and so many characteristics about you that if people had a fraction of would make the world a better place. I love you Paula and I will miss you so much. Don’t worry, Ill be checking up with you from time to time just like you always did for us.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
There will be an answer. Let it be.
I’m so proud of you and how strong you have become. I love you sis.
Rest in Peace Paula, a great mother to every one of us.
Let It Be

Our hearts and prayers go out to all the Dooley's and Falvey's. Paula was a special Angel on this earth. She always made our days a little bit brighter by knowing her. I had the honor to share a chalet, in North Conway with Paula and Dave and I remember every laugh that we shared. May God bless both families.

Sheila and I want to extend deepest
sympathy to the whole Dooley family and other relatives and friends.
I was lucky enough to work with Paula at MGH, and came to realize what a gem she was. She was always friendly, helpful, wonderful with patients, and an excellent worker.
I always loved her laugh and will miss hearing it. The smile on her face was always radiant, especially when she was talking about her husband and daughters. She will be missed by many!
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
Love,
Bob and Sheila Trafton
