Paula Jo Kottyan

Paula entered into eternal sleep on Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008. She was 26 years old.

We'll miss you Paula. We'll miss your "no holds barred" approach to life. We will think back on our family reunion from just a few weeks ago and re-live our conversations, games and interactions. We'll wonder if we missed any opportunities to spend just one more minute with you before you left.

We miss you and we cry over the pain in our hearts.

We'll take comfort in the knowledge that you are in a better place, free of pain, suffering and the sins of this world. We'll take comfort in the wisdom of our Lord and Savior and the plan that He has for us, even if we don't understand.

We'll learn from this lesson, learned in a difficult way, that every moment might be the last. We'll value those we love and take advantage of every opportunity presented.

Thank you for teaching us, thank you for being in our lives, thank you for being Paula Jo Kottyan.

Rest in Peace.

Renee, I really am so sorry for your loss. I know words can hardly be a comfort at this time. I pray that the Lord bless you all with happy memories of Paula, a strong supprot system within eachother, and peace in your hearts.

May God Keep us all in his tender care. That we do not take each other for granted and that we are reminded of how precious the gift of life is. But also remember that the our eternal home will be ours some day. And we all will meet up again on that great day.
