Time is passing, and still the loss and pain of losing a dear friend as you Paula, is still sad and it hurts so much. I loved grandparenting with you and Art. We shared Maggie and Patrick together, and you made it a loving memory . I think of you so often and I can't believe you are and Art are gone. My Tom is gone to, and being a widow is pretty hard. I just wanted to say I miss you both and always will.

Mom O' was the kindest soul and most amazing person the world has been blessed with. She will be greatly missed by many, as she touched so many people's lives throughout the years. So happy that I was able to speak with her on the phone during this past year. I will always remember the sound of her voice & her warm embrace. She gave the best & most genuine hugs. She always gave unconditional love and did not judge anyone - as she saw the good in everyone. Every time I think of her, it brings a smile to my face. I'm so fortunate to have her as my Bonus Mom. She's happy now to be reunited with Dad O' - the love of her life. They were both the best & opened their home to many. We are all better people for having known Mom & Dad O'. There are so many treasured memories, meaningful conversations and good times that I can recall. I count the O'Leary family as one of my life's blessings & will be forever grateful for that. Mom O' - I love you & miss you so much. Thank you for everything you did for me over the years. God's Blessings Always.

Nanny O was a wonderful part of our TricorBraun family. She always made you feel special with her warm smile and sweet words. I always looked forward to seeing her in the lunchroom making her can of soup. My sympathy to the family. I am sure she is happy with Art once again.

Paula or Nanny O, I struggle with finding words to say how much you meant to me over the years. Even though life's journey took us apart our friendship never wavered. I thought of you very often and thought the world of you. I treasured and valued our friendship and all of our conversations over the years. I will truly miss you my friend.

I didn't get to say good-bye to Nanny O' but I remember the last time we were together. I remember the sound of her voice and the warmth in her hugs. I will remember the sound life lessons and advice she gave me and her wonderful sense of humor. I will never forget how she held my hand and gave me words of encouragement and comfort as dad was having major surgeries and the many months of his recovery. All these things are embedded in my heart forever. She always made me feel like I was part of the family. I love her and will miss her as I have always thought of her as my 'bonus' parent. Thank you for sharing her with me. She occupies a space in my heart forever. I have been enriched and so blessed by her friendship and affection. When I think of her I will remember the angel that came to earth and touched a lot of lives and who are better by the blessing of her presence..❤

I met Paula a year or two before she retired and for the short time I knew her she was a pleasure to be around. She always had a smile and a twinkle in her eye! She will be missed!

Hearts are so heavy now that an angel has gone home. A true lady in every sense and full-filled so many roles in life to all. We are all better people to have had her presence in our lives. To know her was really to love her. Her example in her faith is one to live by. When we keep our loved ones in our hearts 'they still live'. I think of Nanny O completely well and reunited with the love of her life. Our loss is Heaven's gain.

Paula was always a sweet and funny person to work with. I will always remember her humor and friendly smile. I also treasure her stories about great adventures with her husband. I know her Kranson family misses her. Good bye for now Paula.

•There's magic in a Mother's touch, and sunshine in her smile. There's love in everything she does to make our lives worthwhile. We can find both hope and courage just by looking in her eyes. Her laughter is a source of joy, her words are warm and wise. There is a kindness and compassion to be found in her embrace and we see the light of heaven shining from a Mother's face. I will truly miss a wonderful lady and co-worker for many years. Now her and Art are together again as she recently spoke about wanting to be back with him. Prayers and sympathy for her family and friends.
