Dear Steve, Erien, and Stacy,
Please accept my sincere sympathy on your loss. I only knew Paula briefly through purchasing your previous home. During that process I had a dear, young friend die of breast cancer and Paula was very understanding providing words of comfort to me. May you find comfort in your memories of Paula.

Dearest Steve, Stacy, Eiren, and Family;

I am not sure how to express my condolences to you. I am so sorry for the loss of Paula.

Steve~ you had a beautiful wife with a heart of gold, and you took amazing care of her..

Girls~ you had a mother that adored you both and was so very proud of you and the young ladies you have become! She couldn't wait to fill me in on all your new adventures. Always remember how much she loved you and the joy you both brought to her heart!

I pray that in the days ahead you find comfort knowing she is no longer suffering. All the headaches and pain will be gone. She will now rest in peace and forever be an angel watching over us. She will always be with us in our hearts, and the memories we share of her will help us all accept this sorrow.

I will always reflect back to the first time I meet her in Cracker Barrel and all the conversions I shared with her and see her smile with blue lips from her favorite blueberry pancakes or muffin. oh and those big beautiful eyes smiling and twinkling at me. She was a very special lady and a dear friend to many.. I feel so blessed to have known Paula.

May God keep you strong in the days ahead,comfort y'all with good friends and family. Please remember if you need anything at all I am right down the street. Don't hesitate to call me.
With deepest sympathy,
