I absolutely loved Paula! She was the kindest and most compassionate counselor! We would share Starbucks banana bread together and laugh. I feel so very blessed to have known Paula! She was a beautiful person! My deepest sympathy to her family.

I met my dear friend, Paula, 21 years ago. We both worked on the crisis mobile unit team, for Fresno County Children's Behavioral Health. I've heard so many stories about her children and best friend, Violet, I feel as though I know them, Paula was a wonderful therapist friend. I will miss her so much. Rande Wood.

Paula was probably the best therapist I've ever had and then we went on to be real friends. I shared my life and family with her and she shared her life stories with me. I will sorely miss our visits and the fun we had outside the office.
Thank you Paula for the friendship and the happy smile that was always present.
Love you.
