Aunt Paula, you were a dear sweet lady, and it was indeed an honor to have known you. When we met so many years ago, I knew you were a special and dear person with a big heart full of love. I was so glad I got to spend some time with you the night you went on to see Jesus. I felt a calm peacefulness in the room then. Aunt Paula, I promised you that night I would bring Mickey, your great nephew to see you the next day, and I held true to that promise. Even though you weren't here in body, I know you were here in spirit, and you did get to see him. You were the very first person to wish me a happy birthday the night you left us, and I will cherish the fact that you and Frankie were the first two I brought in my birthday with. October 7 will never be the same. I miss you, and look forward to the day I get to see you again! God bless you, and keep you!
