To the family of Paula:
I am sadden to hear that Paula is now in the arms of God with no pain.
She was a rare individual with radiance. Her beautiful smile always made one smile back, she had the ability to change you immediately with her radiance. She never held back, stood her stand on worthy causes, she did it with class, the radiance around her. You made a difference, you instilled lifetime values to your family and friends, happy are we that had this privilege of knowing you. Your special radiance that surrounded your whole, is now in God's heaven, where you will watch your love ones and keep an eye on all of us. Thank you for allowing me to know you, you were a blessing to everyone you connected with. Love, Elli

My sincerest condolences to all of Paula's family. I had the greatest pleasure of working with Paula as her student aide at Pima Community College in 1990. She was a great supervisor and taught me how to work in an office environment as I was only 17 years old and had only worked in retail. I wish the family great strength and send prayers for Paula.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Vanessa and JoJo. Hard to believe and accept that she has left. She was a great friend who care so much for so many people. She was the true meaning of the word "Friend" she has blessed you with her thoughts , words and wisdom and shines through you now. While our hearts hurt we know that she celebrates in heaven. I do not say goodbye to her, but, "A Dios" "To God" my friend. Keep watch over all of us! Love ya! Fernando and family
