“Gratitude is the memory of the heart.”
So far reaching is the kindness of strangers ...
So far
reaching was this horrific crime that a wonderful woman
from Lana's neighbourhood, Tresina Hillier, petitioned the neighbours with the
recommendation that their street be renamed in memory of Paula. Not only is this a testament to Paula and her sisters but it is a
reminder that despite the darkness we have endured since December 27, 2005,
goodness does abound.
This tribute to Paula's memory is affirmation to
all that despite our grief and despair, there is a glimmer of light around
the next corner.
As the
days pass to weeks, the weeks to months and the months to years, I hope each
time Paula's sisters pass this street sign, they are reminded of the love
that is all around them.
