We were left speechless when we read the news.

Débora Plager, a colleague and friend, paid tribute to Pais on social media, recalling their shared history, "Work, nights out, theater, laughter, the gym together." Plager described Pais as "a person with enormous generosity and very talented," adding that she "had a very difficult life, carrying many issues she tried to resolve as best she could."

“

Dear friend! I can't believe it. This letter I wrote you for your last birthday. Beautiful friend. Looking for photos, I realized the intensity of the time shared. Work, nights out, theater, laughter, the gym together. We met and within weeks you made me feel like we had a years-long friendship.

Beyond her media career, Pais was also recognized for her entrepreneurial spirit. She owned a restaurant named 'Million' and was involved in personal ventures in the gastronomic and real estate sectors. The Argentine Actors Association conveyed their condolences, noting that Pais "left a mark on the media and on stage thanks to her charisma and personal style."

“

That is only achieved by people who give themselves to others in the way you do. Without pettiness, with the generosity of a naked soul. You gave me the trust and warmth that only genuine bonds achieve. I feel you as my close friend, as intense as when we spent a lot of time together. The time I haven't seen you reaffirms it, it seems like just a few moments, because friendship is not given only by frequency, but by the depth of shared love. I love you very much, Ernes.

Multiteatro, a theater company, also noted the public's dismay upon learning of Pais's death. She was scheduled to perform in the play 'El Divorcio del Año' at the Nini Marshall theater. The company expressed their "sorrow and sadness" for her family.

A person with enormous generosity and very talented. A person with a very difficult life, carrying many issues she tried to resolve as best she could. I still can't believe it.
