Dear Scott, we are so sorry for your loss of Paula; what a woman. I will always hold dear my memories from high school and the fun we shared. Running into her last year was just like old times. Paula certainly lived life to the fullest and clearly impacted so many people. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Dear Dachsteiner family,
So very sorry for your loss. Paula was an inspiration to me every time I met her during my ministry in the Saginaw diocese.Smart, fun, dedicated, with lots of ideas and energy: She will be sorely missed.
May God hold your family in the palm of his hand during this difficult time .

Paula was a blessing to our family, always accepting our late registrations with a smile, always ready for the unexpected. RIP.

Paula has been an important part of our family for many, many years. She has literally travelled the world with all of us Fritsch sisters, going to WYD in Australia, Spain, Rome, and around the United States with mission trips, NCYC, and the March for Life, and has been a mentor to us through middle school retreats, high school retreats, and youth group. I even had the chance to work with her for a University-run retreat while I was attending CMU.
Paula recently took me out for lunch, and she was so proud of Robert, starting CMU in the fall. She enjoyed telling stories of the mini WYD trip around the US, and (seeing the positive and God moments in everything, like always) told me that the best part of the trip was when the bus broke down and the city they were in came together to help.
Paula was an incredible person, always happy, kind, very loving, and I will always remember her wonderful laugh. She was one of my mentors, and I will greatly miss her.
It only makes sense that she passed away on St. Brigid's feast day. She was filled with God's love and showed it every minute of her life. She touched so many children's lives at St. Brigids, and the surrounding parishes. At the prayer service, some of us involved in youth ministry throughout middle school and high school were saying how thankful we are to have had Paula lead us through all of it. We have so many good memories that we will forever hold in our hearts.
Our deepest sympathies go out to your entire family. We are thankful that you have shared Paula with us, and we will forever hold happy memories of her.
~Chrissy Fritsch and family.

Dear Robert,
We are so sorry your mom is not here physically with you and your family anymore. We are going to miss her a lot: her big smile, her great laugh, her kindness, her positive way of speaking of others, and specially her great dedication and belief in the youth she came in contact with. She left in you, in your family, and in all of us, wonderful memories, love, and so many positive examples...I bet she is laughing even harder with Jesus.
Our condolences to your family.
Love,
Ramon, Martha, Ramon Jr., Adrian & Lilly Avina

So many hearts broke with the news of Paula's unexpected and untimely passing. With time, we hope God will help replace heartache with joyful memories. And there are SO MANY joyful memories! Paula was a "spiritual" mom to all three of our children and we are deeply grateful that God so sweetly enriched our lives through her. We will continue to thank God for her and hold all of you in our prayers.
All our love ~

I first met Paula many years ago at a youth ministry meeting. She was a "newbie" and sooo very excited to get going at her parish, asking all sorts of questions and sharing ideas. She had an energy that was infectious and lit up a room. Her earthly presence will be missed by so many, especially the youth who loved her and have wonderful memories of her. God be with you in your loss. And may perpetual light shine upon her.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't put into words how much. Paula was one of the strongest most dedicated women I have ever known. She will be so missed. She left an impact on so many. She was a leader. She was an amazing grandmother to Scotty and my boys. I will always keep her memory alive in them. I pray for all of you to have peace and comfort knowing she's up in heaven planning some huge event or just dancing with Jesus.

With Hope in God and His everlasting Love,
