I only met Paula a couple time by phone, she was my cousin and we found each other through genealogy. She was a nice person and I wish her children the best.

Although I never met Paula, we spoke many times over the years about real estate as I was formerly an asset manager for several banks and even referred a friend whose home was a short sale back in 2014. I just came across this as I was trying to contact Paula about another real estate matter and wanted to extend sincerest heart felt condolences to her family and friends. Paula was always eager and willing to assist in anyway she could and she certainly knew her business. May she RIP and may her family know how she touched people well beyond the Ulster County, NY region.

Paula, thank you for being such a wonderful friend - especially during some very rough times. Your friendliness, your sense of humor and your lovely book club meetings were a true joy. You are an inspiration to me. God Bless You, Paula. May you be at peace, and I hope we meet again some day. My sincere condolences to your family and friends.

Dear Eric and family:
I do not know if you remember me. I was Sales Agent for your father over twenty years ago. After your father died, your mother helped me to get my brokers license. She was my angel.
On various occasions, I had the opportunity to talk to her.
She was a very fine lady. I know that she is in heaven.
Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of this wonderful person.

Tammy, Eric, Paul,
Such a sad time for all of you. Your mom was a great, kind, giving lady. I know you all will have precious memories of her to pass along to your children and someday your grandchildren. I am ever so thankful to God that we have the hope of seeing our loved ones again someday. What joy there will be seeing them again, no more pain, tears, illness, just pure joy as we gather around the feet of Jesus. My love and prayers for you all. Susanne Harris - Reins
