Paula Ann Graziano

To the Family:

When I look back at all the teachers I had at Chester Barrows, none pushed me harder than Mrs. Graziano. I remember being 7 years and being the class chatterbox. She knew I was a bright girl and just wanted me to prove myself. Math was tough, but she helped me through it. Finally, one day she was sick of me talking and sent a note home to my mother. I was so scared I flushed the note down the toilet. Feeling satisfied, I went home.
That night, the phone rang....

Michael,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family doing this difficult time. My mother always had such wonderful things to say about Paula. She was so kind to my Mom and will be missed.

Dear Family,

I had Mrs. Graziano, formerly Miss Higgins, for second grade at Chester W. Barrows school during the 1976-1977 school year.

There were many things that Mrs. Graziano taught me such as reading and spelling, but the biggest thing that she taught me was how to take responsiblitly for my own learning.

It was from her structured classroom that made me the Cranston science teacher that I am today.

I returned to her second grade classroom at Chester...

Michael, We are so saddened by Paula's passing. I will always remember when Bob brought me to Rhode Island to meet the family and how you and Paula welcomed me in. That is something I never will forget. I enjoyed my phone calls with her. She was a wonderful person and she will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time

Dear Michael,

It's very sad to hear that Paula has passed away. She was an inspiration and an angel to our mother. My thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow.

Mike, I am so sorry for your loss. On behalf of the Warwick Nurseries Golf League please know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time

Mike, so sorry about the loss of Paula, she was a wonderful teacher and person. My daughter Dana will always have fond memories of her and so will I.

Mrs. Graziano was one of my favorite teachers at Chester Barrows. I looked forward to seeing her every once in awhile for years after I left the school. I am now 37 and she will never be forgotten.

I was Lisa's good friend when we were younger. I want to give my deepest sympathy to you at this sad time my prayers are also with you. she is a angel looking down at you right now and will protect you. She is with god,knowing what a wonderful family she's had and remember the good times.
