Oh Paula, it's been 2 years since you left us. It was too soon for you to go, Life is totally unfair, you helped so many people and were an inspiration to everyone. Your quite kindness was something people did not always see. You did so much for everyone.

These last 2 years have been very hard without you. I am trying to do everything you asked and I hope that you will be proud of the all things we have done in our lives. You were my faithful wife, business partner and the love of my life.

On February 18th 2018 Father Linehan at the St. Margaret Mary Church in Westwood will have a special mass for you, remembering all the good things you did in your life.

God Bless you Paula.

Your Russy

Russ - so very sorry to just now learn of Paula's passing. I was planning on seeing her and saw this. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Paula was a funny and kind woman - with an infectious laugh.
I will remember fondly our days as neighbors in Norfolk.

Please know that I'm thinking of you and my deepest sympathies to you your family.

With deepest sorry,
Debbie Zaza

Paula was truly generous, kind and beautiful - one of the most wonderful people you could ever meet. I had the honor of spending some time with her and Russ a few months ago and to be in their presence was a gift I will cherish. Words cannot convey how sorry I am and how profound a loss

The Bertoni Family shares in this grief and sad time for sure. Paula's Mom Paulilne was a childhood friend of my Mother and Jake and Pauline with the "girls" often visited Endicott for a Sunday afternoon cookoutand we would also go visit them at their Murrey Stree home and all go to the movies walking under the Underpass to what I remember might have been the Jarvis theatre on Clinton Street..A wonderful time in life with some wonderful friends both parents and the kids. Know that we can appreciate what a wonderful person Paula was and how she will be sorely missed by all.While many years removed,you never forget a beautiful person in heart and soul and the Triffo's were all of that and more. May Paula Rest in Peace.
