In Memory of Paul Sousa

There can only be one “nicest” person on earth, and our vote goes to Paul Sousa. As a member of the Citizens Bank Champions in Action team, Paul visited RiverzEdge several times and his enthusiasm and heartfelt interest in our program was inspiring. Paul connected with the teens in our program and always made a point of asking about the program each time we met.

Paul Sousa died on March 3, 2008 at age 36. Our sincerest sympathy goes out to his family and many good friends. Paul’s mother, Florine, father, Anthony Sousa and sister, Deborah Boysen knew of Paul’s interest in RiverzEdge and the work we do here. Because of this they have asked donations be made to RiverzEdge in lieu of purchasing flowers. We are deeply moved by this decision and grateful not only to those who have donated, but also to Paul’s family for their extraordinary generosity in thinking of others in this time of great sadness. We now know where Paul got his kind and thoughtful spirit.
