Hi everyone,

We want to thank you so much for the overwhelming outpouring of love these past few weeks.

We are so sorry to tell you that Paula passed away last night at 10:22pm surrounded by her dear beloved family. Steve, though exhausted, didn’t leave her side while she was in hospice. The family is taking some time today to celebrate her memory and, of course, the inauguration she was so looking forward to.

The family is eager to honor her memory in their own words, but we are taking this day to heal and rest.

Thank you all for your thoughts and support. In your grief, please remember to see the beauty in this day, as Paula would want us to.
