Paige and I met when I was thirteen in theater class at Rosemont Middle School. I moved away and returned to Los Angeles where we reconnected and became best friends instantly. Paige and I loved to watch Ratatouille with her Jack Russell Terrier, Joey. We got into all kinds of mischief together, and I remember that her parents were always there, always watching out for her. Paige, Heidi, Kat and I did everything together. We had so many good memories. My favorites were just being with her and Caitlyn at her family’s home. I am so very sorry for this loss. She was one of my greatest childhood friends. Sunny, Mark and Caitlyn: my heart hurts for you. And for Nolan, your mother was so lively. She had such a big presence which will be sorely missed. Paige, I love you, I’ll always pray for you.
Love,
Elyssa Solinger
I’m heartbroken at this news. Unfortunately Paige and I haven’t spoken in a couple years as we’ve grown apart but I still thought about her often. I would have considered her my best friend during my later teens. We first met playing soccer as young girls and were instantly drawn to each other. Her charisma and sense of humor was unmatched. My deepest condolences go out to Paige’s family. I wish I could have been there for Paige more as a positive influence on her as we’ve gotten older but distance made it hard. I’m sorry that I won’t be able to attend the memorial as I’m 7 months pregnant and have a toddler it’s too difficult. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for Paige’s family here in California or if there will be any kind of memorial here. God Bless
We remember Paige as a joyful teenager full of excitement and ready to take a big bite out of life. She is gone far too soon and we are sad to not be able to see all that she could bring to this world. May her spirit live on in Nolan and provide her family with joy.
My beautiful friend Paige, I am going to miss your laughter, your smile. You brought so much joy to everyone’s lives. You always made everyone laugh with your sense of humor. You were a wonderful friend to me and to everyone that was lucky to have known you. I am going to cherish all the wonderful memories I have of us together. I will think of you when I blasting the, “The Rolling Stones” Keep on dancing, singing and laughing. One day I will see you again my beautiful friend Paige.
Love, Arlene. Sending hugs & love to your family. My condolence to them.
Paige, you are a light to so many. I remember all the crazy times we had in high school. You were there for my first car accident, when we just looked at each other and laughed hysterically. All the times you shared your great taste in music rubbed off on me. The countless hours hanging out at your parents’ place, laughing at all the random things we’d find. Not to mention the time we tried to teepee in the rain. ???? It was always a good time with you, and I am forever grateful for those chapters of my life with you in them. Your energy was infectious, and that laugh could cheer up anyone. You are seriously missed, my friend.
It’s hard to narrow down just one memory or one story with my dear friend Paige. But let’s start at the beginning. When I started middle school I remember the first day being so anxious and sad because I didn’t know anyone. I vividly remember hiding during recess and lunch. It was hard having no friends. Being an outsider. Enter Paige, the kindest, truest friend that life ever gave me.
From the moment I met her I knew we would be friends for life. She took me in and introduced me to all her friends. She never let me eat alone again. I remember when someone once was bullying me and Paige walked right up to them and told them to stop and I think I just stood there mouth wide open being so in awe of her strength and her courage.
Paige was never afraid to speak her mind. To know Paige was to love her. We became close as we went through the typical, and challenging teenage-girl years and problems together. Paige had a personality that was bigger than life, being around her was always such a fun time. She helped me to come out of my shell and was always there for me no questions asked. We could be going on an adventure or just hanging out and it would always be the best time. She was so effortlessly funny, witty, and beautiful. She would make me laugh until my stomach hurt. Her laugh was infectious, her light was contagious.
We truly grew up together, learning from mistakes, and evolving. It was such a pleasure to know her as a child, a teen, a young adult, and then as a mother. Watching her lead her life with such courage and love was inspiring. I was so proud as she became a child of Christ and explored, and declared her faith.
Paige was the best mother, and was so determined to give her all to Nolan. When I saw her during her pregnancy I remember watching her talk and sing to her belly and just feeling in my bones how great of a mother she was going to be; and then in her typical fashion she just blew all of my expectations out of the water and became all of that more.
I know Nolan is a great boy who is so special. Through the videos and pictures she shared with me I was able to see so much of her in him, he truly is her mini me. Nolan will forever be a reflection of Paige’s love, and I mourn for him and the rest of her family as they navigate this impossible loss.
I know Paige is still here carried in our hearts, and in our precious memories. I pray her faith has brought her peace, and I promise to be there for her, her son and her family the way she always was for me. I love her and I’ll miss her forever. Here’s to playing air piano again singing Bennie and the jets at the top of our lungs windows down, wind in our hair and laughed until tears roll down our faces again someday.
Hi Mark and Sunny; I just wanted to say how
Sorry I’m for your loss. I don’t have words to express my condolences for you.
We love you ???? and your family.
A big hug to you both.
Lupita and Chandler.
My deepest condolences to the family and Paige’s joy of her life, Nolan.
I’ve sat here trying to write something with endless things to say about who Paige was and the stories we shared, yet I’m speechless with the reality that I have to put this into words. As the movie of our teens and twenties plays in my mind I pan out and look at the impact Paige Pearson had on my life at that time and the impact she had on who I am today as a friend, mother, religious woman and of course my music taste.
Paige wrote to me following my father’s death and talked to me about grief. In her own words:
“You are so strong and I know you will overcome all of this grief, but either way it’s still is devastating. I love you and I also know beautiful things are yet to come in your life.
And true pain, which you must be going through especially recently, although a terrible experience, I think teaches us the true lessons we need to learn in life. I don’t think we would be understanding or empathetic the way those who have been through pain are. You will be wiser at a younger age, which will enable you to truly help so many suffering, and while this is a sacrifice, I know you’re the type of person that will try to look at the positive side of such a sacrifice. Anyway sorry I’m rambling on but I just love you and I want to say I’m sorry for all that you’ve been through recently, but that I have so much hope for the future for ya.”
I hope we can all take her words and wrap them around us while we grieve the loss of our Paigey and stay strong for the Pearsons and Nolan. I love you and I miss you, friend.
Mark, Sunny, I heard about your daughter Paige’s passing from Cindy Roberg. I am so sorry to hear she is gone from this earth. There is nothing, no words that can express the sadness I feel for you and her son. I morn for you and pray that Our Heavenly Father will send you at least a small portion of peace. Though we know her spirit lives, the loss is something we must endure.
If there is one thing I know about Paige, it’s that she’s in Heaven- that girl loves Jesus more than anyone I know! I’m going To miss my sister in Christ so much! She loved Nolan so much!!
Dear Sunny and Mark,
We learned of your deep and painful loss just a few minutes ago and our hearts are with you at this difficult time. Time does heal, but it is important to grieve and in this process your memories and love for Paige will find a permanent place in your hearts and mind.
We are thinking of you, Caitlin and Nolan and wish you strength and health as you move through this devastating time.
With love,
Ed and Barbara
