Thinking of you at this time. I knew Paula through her work on the PTA at Paparoa St School. She gave a lot to our community in her time as an active PTA member and I am very sad to hear of her passing. Much love to you all.

To dear, David, Liam, Avril and John and Greg and Brenda. We wish you love and much comfort at this very sad time. Paula was a beautiful woman and much loved and admired by my mum and dad, Grace and Rob Dick. Dad is unable to handwrite anymore and has asked me to write something to you all. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and that we remember Paula with such fond memories and of such happy times. Take care of yourselves over the coming days, weeks, and months ahead. We send love also to the extended families of David and Paula and to all her many friends both here and in Canada as we all grieve the loss of a brave and courageous woman. Arohanui, Kathryn and Rob

Greg, Brenda, David and Liam, I'm gutted to hear this. Paula was a great friend and confidant back in the day - we'd been friends since we were ten. Although we lost touch over the years, this was very sad to hear. She was smart, fun and strong.
