Luisa, Marta, and Federico - my heart hurts for you and I´m so grateful that you loved her as fiercely as she loved you. Her energy and spice for life was beautiful. I´m so thankful that I got to spend a little time with Paola while Luisa and I were in college. She made me laugh and smile and reminded me to enjoy the good things in life. Federico and Paola, you raised amazing humans - Luisa and Marta share their mom´s kindness, understanding, passion, good sense of humor, and beauty in the world.

I just heard about Paola's passing from Cesare and Liliana Bernabei, and would like to express my sympathy to Federico, Luisa and Marta. I remember your Mother very fondly. Paola was a devoted friend of my mother's, especially when Clo was ill, and spent many hours at our home. We were all very fortunate to have known her, her generous spirit and to have shared her warmth. I was recently in the Boston area, and tried to visit, but, regrettably it wasn't possible. I hope to express my condolences in person next time I travel to the States.

Paola was a kind person, a dedicated faculty colleague and a gifted teacher. She will be missed.
