My heart felt condolences to Adrian, the children and Paulas whanau and friends.

The right words are difficult to find at this unbelievably sad time. Paula I have really valued our connection over the past few years Who would have thought after all those years at St Marys that we had a shared view on the spiritual and holistic side of life. I have valued your sharings of vulnerabilites, learnings and experiences, always so honest, genuine and positive. Our world has lost an angel but heaven has reclaimed one. Sending love and support to you dear family. I really hope to see you again xxx

Deeply saddened to hear of your passing Paula, will forever have fond memories. Thoughts are with your family. Mark

Thinking of you all at this incredibly sad time. There will be so many wonderful memories to get you through your sadness hold on to them tightly. 💞

Paula, your energy, enthusiasm and passion for life was contagious and inspiring. You loved nature, beauty and deeper connections and we were kindred spirits on a similar journey. I will deeply miss you, your support, kindness, laughter, messages and chats. With so much love to you, Suzanne and your beautiful family. Melanie xo

Dear Paula Although we never formally met, we greeted daily at school. I will always remember you as the beautiful mommy with a great sense of style, always so friendly. My heart really aches for your family's loss. You will always be loved! I will introduce myself next time we meet in heaven. 💛

Paula, all I can hear is your laugh, and your hilarious bro talk which never fooled anyone, you were way to classy for that. You were perfect in everyway to me and yet never afraid to show your flaws. Miss you my dear friend 🎶come come share in this game of life....

What a huge tragedy to have lost such an incredibly beautiful soul. I am so deeply sadened and shocked by this. My heart goes out first of all to Adrian and your beautiful children but also those close to you, I can't fathom how much their world has been rocked, having only known you for a verh short time myself. I will miss your beautiful smile and kind words of support when I needed it, thank you for that. Seeing you stroll pass my house on your walks or at school pick ups and drop offs you always had an amazing energy, a pure soul. Thank you for holding space for my son to always come up and chat with you, he loved his wee chat ups with Aundreys Mum 💗 I will miss you xo

To all the family of dear Paula, my heart and love goes out to you all at this devastating time. I simply can't imagine what you are going through. Paula, I can't quite believe I am writing this as a tribute when I only saw you last week when we were talking all about the importance of periods. I will never forget your laugh. I can honestly say that my life is richer and brighter for having known you and it will be a bit darker now that you have gone. I am devastated for you and your family. Rest in peace, beautiful lady.

Oh dear Paula my heart sank at the news of your sudden passing. Life won't be the same without our beautiful vibrant and bubble neighbor and friend. I will treasure the memories I have. I will remember your cute laugh and happy energy. You were a wonderful mum, even my daughter felt she could chat to you about anything. May you rest in peace and watch over your little family.

Adrian, I'm so sorry to hear about Paula. Feeling for you and your family. Sending you love from Melbourne. Gabby

Paula, I shall never forget the time I first met you, glowing with your baby bump (soon to be beautiful Audrey). You had such sparkle and made me feel like i'd known you forever. Despite the short time we'd spent together, you gave me one of the most amazing gifts anyone could give.. that was asking me to be Godmother to Audrey. It meant more to me than any words will ever express. We became so close in an instant. I will miss our chats online about families and babies, the conversation about when I would see you next. It's incomprehendable to think you are no longer here, my cousin Adrian and the wonderful little darlings you made together now have the greatest hole in their life that can never be repaired. To have to live on without you in their life, they've lost not just as a special wife & mother but someone who made a positive impact on anyone who was around you. I make a promise to you, Adrian & your babies, that I will be here in any way I can to help cope with this heartache and be there for them as much as I can despite the distance we have. I know one person who would have loved you, that's my Mum. You shared the ability to shine like angels and inspire so many to be great people. You both made your children your world and loved them as true mothers should. I'm heartbroken xxxxxxxxxxxx

Life bring us together my beautiful friend , ill be forever greatful for our endless chats and support over the last year , i dont think ill ever forget the way your eyes light up with you smile or the sound of your voice , someone needed you in heaven my friend but i dont thibk they realsied we all needed you more , You will always have enteranal life paula in all the peoples lives you touched , love you so much xxx

Paula you are one of the most spirital and holistic souls i know. It's times like these i question our life's journey and how incredibly unfair it can be. I will miss crossing paths in the mornings at the school as we drop Audrey and Lacey off. Your smile was infectious and always brightened up my day. My love to Ajax, Baxter, ❤️Audrey ❤️ and Marlow. What a beautiful guardian angel you are now to your family. Rest in peace beautiful lady you will be missed xox Fiona Pitcairn
