Paula was my good friend and I miss her. She was so selfless, kind, and giving. We taught together for quite a few years and had good laughs going on outings, talking on the phone, and just being friends. I will always cherish the pictures of Paula, Karen, and me at Paula's ODU graduation. She was so kind to my son and loved him a lot. I am grateful to God for giving me such a wonderful friend and my life has been better having Paula in it. To Paula I say: Rest in peace my dear, sweet friend and know you are loved and will never be forgotten.

It always seems as though the sweetest, most thoughtful, caring and loving people leave the earth at such early ages. May we assume the purpose could be to relieve them from the heartaches and disappointments of this life? Surely, this had to be the case with Paula. Family, be encouraged, for her smiling face we will see again in that great getting up morning!!
