We knew her since she was born and she was more than a niece. She was the beloved daughter to my sister, Chris. We will love her forever. There will always be a void in our hearts but the wonderful memories of the most beautiful young lady with the most giving heart and tender soul will fill it forever, Paige. She always had the voice of an angel and now she is singing with the Lord's Host and glorying Him eternally!!

I'm very sorry for the loss of Paige.She was not only my children's doctor but she was a beautiful person altogether. She always wanted to know how everyone was, not just the person with the appointment. My deepest sympathy to her family and all those at Glade Community Clinic. I thank you Paige for all you did for my children. You will be greatly missed. May God bless your family.

Paige was my friend and my mentor. I only knew her 8 months. In all my career I'll never be able to do justice to all she taught me. I will so miss her. And Paige, I hope they have peanut butter milkshakes in heaven.

Paige was our heart. She touched so many lifes and her wonderful spirit will remain alive through all who knew her. Paige was accepting of all and her understanding drew others close to her. She was a fearless woman of strength, yet she was compasionate and kind and all who knew her, loved her. Although she prized her profession, her greatest accomplishment was being a mother. River, our grandson, was the light of her life. How I cherish the memories and the days and years of her life...it ended too soon.

I only met Paige two times as she was a preceptor for one of the students from ODU that I had to make site visits for. She was such a nice person. It's just so sad but, I was thinking GOD must have needed a NP in Heaven. He picked a great one. I will miss her.

What a shock and loss to the medical field. Paige, you touched so many lives and my heart, thoughts and prayers are with your family, friends and co-workers. You have truly been a blessing your short time here on earth and will be greatly missed. I will always treasure the good times we had when we worked together. You were always a ray of sunshine with a beautiful smile.

Paige took such wonderful care of our family. She had a kind word and a smile for everyone and always put my young daughters at ease. She was a devoted mother and anyone who knew her knew that River was her world.

I loved Paige and her family. But I am the closest to little River. I keep him every Monday and Friday for Paige and Marshall. He is such a wonderful child and will one day know what a great mother he had. My heart goes out to all of the family and wonderful friends that touched Paige's life. Please email me if you would like me to send you a picture of Paige and River that was taken on January the 31st at my sons birthday party.

I have received a blessing today. I had the honor to sing today at Paige's "Celebration of Life" and can honestly say I came away today with a new appreciation of life. I did not know Paige personally but, after the service today I feel I have lost a great friend. My thoughts and prayers will be with the family, friends, and co-workers of this truly wonderful lady. GOD BLESS YOU.

I was so blessed to find Paige when I moved to Virginia. She was a true healer, both with physical and emotional pain. My young daughter just loved her, and I grew to love her, too, as our relationship grew into a friendship. Her heart, her humor, and her spirit was a blessing to me, my daughter, and our community. I grieve deeply in losing my friend, but I grieve more for little River who lost his mother so soon in his life. She loved him so much.

To Paiges' family. It is a sad time for you and for everyone that knew Paige. I really liked her, every time I went to see her, she took the time to talk to you and make you feel good about yourself. I am so sorry about the loss you have experienced. My mother saw her on several occasions and she just loved Paige.
My heart goes out to Paiges' family and her sweet son. May God Bless you.

River, for as long as I have been a patient of your mother’s, I have felt safe and secure in her care. She was an exceptional person, not only for her professionalism but also for her kindness and her ability to put you at ease. She will be missed by all who loved and respected her. You can be very proud of your mom.

The most caring person that I have ever met. Paige was non-judgemental, and accepting of everyone. She defined to me what a health care professional should be, you really had a true sense that she wanted to help everyone. Goodbye to a great friend, doctor, and mom. I will miss our philosophical journeys into the abyss of southern culture.

Paige came into our lives when she was 3 and my mother married her grandfather. How delightful and precious she was to our family in her childhood and how much we all loved her. She grew into a beautiful young lady and had such great love for all people and was a wonderful mother to River. God used her in such a special way and her influence will continue in the lives of those who knew and loved her. We will keep all her family in our thoughts and prayers. Heaven is certainly brighter and I know her grandfather was glad to see her as he loved her so much.

Paige was not only my doctor but like a sister to me. She was always there when I needed to talk to someone, she was so caring and always wanted the best for everyone. I will greatly miss her, but I will always remember her smile and jokes. God has taken an "angel" from us, but thankfully he let everyone get to know what such a wonderful person she was and how loving she was,she brought River into everyone's life whom will be just like his mother. River will never get to know what such a great mother he had. I will miss you paige. With love, Brandi Nichole Blevins

Paige was such a good friend and person. I will always remember how full of life she was and her compassion for others. My heart goes out to little River, I know he will embody the spirit and love his mother felt for him, there wasn't anything more important to her than his happiness. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Paige was my nurse and I knew her for only a short time. She left such an impression, I feel blessed that God allowed our paths to cross. She had such a way of making you feel comfortable, allowing you to talk to her with ease. I don't think that Paige realized what an impact she on the many lives that she touched. I am praying for her family, particularly her son. When I last saw Paige, she spoke about River with such love. She was so thankful that she had him in her life. Paige will be missed dearly by many.

Words can not begin to explain how much Paige will be missed. I knew her as my mother's co-worker, my physician, but most of all as a friend. I know that as long as I live I will never forget her smileing and saying to my sister and I "Hey Girls!"

Paige and I spent every Thanksgiving and Christmas together as children. She was always my “coolest” cousin. My heart and prayers go out to River who will never know what a wonderful mother he had. I know she touched many people in her short life here and this is a great loss to us, but a wonderful gain to God.
