Herbie, Joyce, Nicole & Alyssa -- The special trips to Browns for Easter dinner, the lobsters & clams, will surely not be the same. Paula made those trips very special, as well as the girls' shopping trips with Nana. You can rest assured that she is having a cup of tea with Memere!! You are in our prayers.

I was sorry to hear of Paula's passing. We worked together at Cass. When I got laid off, Paula was so kind to me. Later Paula retired and we kept in touch over the years. I will miss Paula - she was so funny and enjoyable to be around.

Dear Richie and Family,
This is how I found my cousins doing exactly this signing Uncle Leo's guest book hoping that Leo's children would respond. That they did and thus my relationship started with Paula and the rest of the cousins. Paula and I clicked immediately. I believe because we were exactly the same age. I just read her last email she sent me Aug. 1st and she stated it just was not fair that we did not get more time. I only was in her company once and that I will cherish forever. I loved her personality and her kindness. Her and I could have had lots of memories but instead I will take what I have. I guess it is better I remember my first time with her because she looked great. I have pictures to prove it. I know she loved her family and those wonderful granddaughters. Richie you were wonderful and her rock. Her boys her joy . Richie if you can please give her a kiss for cuz Joni as she called me. I will be in touch.

I talked to my mom this afternoon and she told me about Paula. I was so very sorry to hear. You were both very good friends of my dad (and mom too). Mom said that she just felt awful when she heard the news and couldn't believe it because Paula was always such a vibrant person. Richie, please know that the Brazee Family is thinking of you and of all of the Post family.

Please accept my sincerest sympathies. I worked with Paula years back in Burlington. You must know that no one will ever remember Paula without smiling - for that's just the type of person she was. She leaves behind lots of fun filled memories. I will keep you all in my prayers.
