elevated B6qIi Paola’s life was filled with love for her family, her many friends and for those whose lives she touched. She had a magic talent when it came to sewing and baking and many enjoyed the fruits of her labour. Her strong faith in the Lord allowed her to give those around her strength and courage. She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by all.
