Mom,
It's officially 1 year and I can't believe how deep the ache still is, I guess I'll have to get used to it, I'm sure missing you will always be a stong feeling.

You deserved Peace and I trust that you are at peace now, I think of you everyday and especially during thunderstorms, I figured since you loved it so you are on the bowling league with Dad and all the other angels.

Love Rene' Marie

It's amazing all of the people that Mrs. P touched. I think about the time that things were not good in my life and she simply told me that no matter what she believed in me and I shouldn't give up. I had no idea that I would be so emotional but it just tells you that she was like a mom to all of us kids that came through her house at one time or another! To the Paradis family - Love all of you and my prayers and thoughts are with you. I really wanted to be there but it was just not possibly! God Bless you all and God Bless MRS. P!!!

Ma P was a second mom to all the friends of her children; I am truly grateful to have been one of those lucky friends. Speaking from the heart as one of those lucky friends- I will always remember her kindness, her smile, her willingness to laugh with us, her genuine concern for our well-being and the warmth I always felt when walking through her door -which of course was always open.
Our deepest sympathy with lots of love,
Sandy 'Taco' and Vidal
