I am so sad to hear this news, Paula was a warm and friendly person. I enjoyed many chats with her at Probus meetings and Outings. I will certainly miss her quiet and gentle company. I am also sad that I will not be able to attend her funeral as we are interstate. Please pass on my condolences to Colin and her family.
Paula, we will carry your memory with us, and find comfort in the love, generosity and compassion you shared and the lessons you taught. Rest in peace, dear sister, knowing you are deeply loved and will be greatly missed.
Vivien Rawding. Paula was such a beautiful lady both physically and inwardly. I was her teacher’s aide at St Therese and in a conversation one day discovered that we both attended Our Lady of Dolours School, Chatswood one year apart. I will miss our occasional lunches with other friends. May God hold you in his heart. Vale Dear friend.
We were very sad to hear of Paula’s passing. We have fond memories of childhood visits to Sydney, where Paula was always such a kind, generous and caring aunt. Sending our condolences to Colin, Rachel and Michelle and their families.
So sad to hear this news. Paula was a remarkable teacher and a wonderful person. She gave so many children a wonderful kindergarten education. Rest in peace.
