No words can express the shock and sadness I feel. Paula felt like one of my own daughters and I will always cherish the memories we had at my house and many outings together with Melissa. My heart aches. Paula was a beautiful, fun-loving, kind girl and woman who will always be missed. She touched the lives of so many and we will never be the same again. With love to you, Judy

Rich--

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I have never known a better dad than you, Rich. Paula loved you dearly & you had a wonderful relationship with her. I know she adored you--that was apparent seeing you with her on Father's Day last month. Take comfort in the wonderful times you shared & in knowing you were always there for her (& for Brian, too).

Gina & Family,

Our hearts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Nothing can prepare us for the loss of a loved one, let alone a precious child. While we did not know Paula, it was clear through the lense of a camera she lived for family, friends and the pure love of life.
