The substantial disbelief and pain that we feel, and shall feel for a very long time, is shared by many. We wish Paula’s boys: Sarb, Nirmal and Rajan great strength in dealing with their painful loss and void. Paula embodied kindness, fairness and devotion; she was a wonderful person. Her smile and soft manner are forever imprinted in our minds. We would like to express condolences to Taru and Harbans for the loss of such a remarkable daughter-in-law. We also feel greatly for Uncle Doug and Auntie Karen, we can only imagine the painful turmoil of losing such a considerate and beautiful child. Cousin Doug and family, be strong, our thoughts are with you.
Although we will never get over Paula’s unfair and premature departure, we hope one day we will begin to live with it. I know that will seem like an insurmountable task for those close to her, but with the love and support of family and friends we hope peace will slowly enter back into the lives of those most affected. We wish you all the strength in the world. Our Hearts are with you.
Love and support,
Brian, Alessandra, Lavi and Tommy de Leeuw
