Dear family, friends, and colleagues of Paula,
You are blessed by the life and work of a committed and caring person. Paula was a catalyst for literacy. I've had the pleasure of knowing her as a professional and even though it has been some time since we have talked, I know her determination and knowledge blended to make one of our state's finest mentors in education. My heart is full of compassion and sympathy for you as you go through this journey. An angel is watching over you. God bless Paula.

Rich and family,
Thinking of you at this time, so sorry for your loss. We think of Paula as a lifelong friend. She was one of those friends that we could start right up where we left off, even if it was a year between visits. She had that warmth about her that made everyone feel comfortable. The last time we visited, she talked about her kids & grandkids, of course! Rich, Josh, Logan, & Megan.....how she loved all of you! May the joy you brought to her life help ease your sorrow.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Paula face to face but we worked together virtually for the last two years. As one of Professional Development managers, I could always call Paula with a last minute request and she always said yes. She always gave 110% and we will truly miss her. I always enjoyed hearing about her grandchildren and her loving husband Rich. Thank you for sharing Paula with us giving us the opportunity to learn from her wisdom.

Warmest Regards,
