She knew that AEPhi no longer existed at my school. She very much hoped that my daughter would consider SDT and wrote her a glowing rec.

We had written before because on another tie that we had: we both were cancer survivors.

My daughter didn't join SDT, as some of you know. But Paula was ever gracious. We wrote to each other a few times a month...just to check in. I wrote her a holiday note in December. And, when I didn't receive an answer...well, I knew something was wrong.

Paula died in early December of ovarian cancer. So, to you who knew her
here, with her wit, know that she was funny in real life. And to all of you
who raise money for cancer research, be it through St. Jude's, Susan
Komen...know the work that you are doing is importent. And yes, we thank
you.

Thank you for telling us about Paula.
