“No love, no friendship, can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever."
Francois Mocuriac
So often
we plan to get together yet somehow, the timing is off.
Such was the fate of the "Coady Street Gang".
Paula had been in the process of coordinating the first annual Coady
Street Reunion, a gathering of her hometown neighbourhood, at the time of her
demise.
In July, 2006, the sun shone through as Paula's
childhood friends and neighbours gathered for a weekend celebration in her
honour. In keeping with Paula's
outlook on life, activities and barbecues were planned for the children and
adults alike. Although bittersweet, memories of happier times were regaled
leaving all with many fond memories to help ease their grief during those
quiet moments, late at night.
