REMEMBERING PAULA R. COOPER

My Dear Paula...

It has been four-years since that fateful day you chose to transition. While I believe your soul is at peace over your decision, my soul is not and I do not think it will ever be completely so as it relates to you.

How I wish I could have ONE more conversation with you. To let you know how much I love you. To tell you I care.

Today is not a "Happy Anniversary" by any definition. So I try remember you for all you meant to me more than this day itself.

I miss you, Paula Cooper.

Much Love,
Dave

Paula, there is not a day that go by without you being on my mind, I always think about the very first time i ever heard about you and knew your name, i heard of you from watching an interview you had with rev. Jessie Jackson one night on tv, " nightline" was the show if i'm not mistaken, and i can remember how i reacted when i seen you on my tv screen, i remember saying to myself " OH MY GOD, PAULA IS SUCH A CUTIE-PIE"... after i obtained your address and started writing to you i learned what such a beautiful and sweet person you truly were and i remember how much i was alway's so glad to hear from you, and to this very day you still are on my mind and inside my heart so much.

  paula, i always wanted to meet you in person to give you a 
  big hug and tell you how much i love you and how much i
  enjoyed writing to you, i remember how each letter i received
  from you always made my day feel like a wonderful day. thanks
  for all the wonderful memories paula, young lady i miss you so 
  much and i love you more than words can ever say, although i
  didn't get to meet you here on earth in person,  i will definitely
  meet you in heaven, i will know it's you by your beautiful smile.



                  R.I.P. PAULA R. COOPER

I remember how optimistic you always were, looking forward to the day when you could talk to and work with today's youth to keep them from going down the path you had been on. You were such a beautiful person inside and out. The world misses you and all you could have accomplished. Our great loss is Heavens gain.

Paula…For 25-years I could count on one certainty…when I went to the post office to pick up my mail from my PO Box; on one of those trips there would be a letter from you! Even when I knew your finances were tight and the cost of a postage stamp was “expensive,” you ALWAYS found a way to write me! You never failed me. Yet over the last week, more than once, I have wondered if I failed you.

Then, these amazing experiences started to happen and are continuing...between clicks, links, messages, online chats, emails and so on, I began to “meet” the people in your circle of life! Paula Cooper, you have put together one amazing “quilt of people.” Almost every area where I feel I let you down, I have met someone who had your back covered in that area! It is truly remarkable.

This is a “quilt” which will never fade, tatter or disappear because it is held together by one common thread…we all miss you deeply and love you! As my tears begin to dry and the sleepless nights are less frequent, I can wrap myself in the warmth and love of your quilt, look up and see your shining, peaceful soul! :-)

I stumbled upon this page by just looking for anything "Paula." We all miss you sooooooooo much at the office. I miss your early morning smiles that greeted us every morning. You weren't just a co-worker to me, you were my friend. You would always say that I was a mentor to you but you didn't realize how you were the same to me too. You were such a fast learner & eager to learn more & more & I was eager to give you more...lol I shared my stories with you & laughed with you. I miss those days. The office hasn't been the same since you left. Some of your "favorite" (she would laugh at that) clients have been calling because they heard what happened & are hurt by your passing. You meant a lot to them too. You are sorely missed. Rest easy queen. Oh & "Papi" got a little sad today after mentioning your favorite candy & looking to see if there were more in your stash:)

I am so blessed that God allowed our paths to cross and thankful that I was able to spend time with you, laughing, crying, eating your amazing food!!! You taught me much about life, about overcoming adversity, and arbor myself. I will forever hold those memories dear, and forever hold a very special place in my heart for you. RIH my friend.

You are in God's loving arms for eternity. You will be missed by many friends including the thousands who had hoped to meet you some day.
You will not be forgotten Through you I learned about the great gift of God, forgiveness. May I use your memory to encourage that message to others.  My heart is broken, I loved you very much <3 and will always love your memory.

May your glory and smile last for entirety in people's hearts and souls. Paula, you touched Roz's and I's lives in different ways for different reasons. We pray you are finally at peace. And we all will meet again in the future. Watch over the ones that loved, cared and had special feelings for you. We still need you in one type of way. Love Roz and Dawn.

Dog Girl (ICAN)

June 2, 2015

While at Rockville Paula was for a short time a dog girl. ICAN is or was a program that allowed offenders to train  dogs for service work & Paula loved her little yellow lab pup Matty. She was very loving with Matty attentive and just a joy to watch. It was like watching a person with a baby. She loved to death. Unfortunately Matty was released due to behavior issues. And that broke Paula's heart she left the program to the sadness of everyone. 

But I can still hear her saying Matty lay down get on your mat 

Gone but never ever forgotten!!!!
