Paula J. Grimes

To Paula's family - I hope that you are feeling all the love around you as you go through this very difficult time. I was one of the many who so loved working with Paula, a remarkable woman who could light up the room with her sweet smiles. Seeing Paula last month at hospice visiting a friend was so typically her in her ministry to others. Sending blessings and love to each of you.

Kenny, Amanda and Jake,
I am thinking of you all just now. Kenny, I knew Paula through you and the wonderful things that you always said about your bride--what a testament to a loving marriage and family. Please know that you all continue to be in my thought and prayers.

God bless and keep you,
Paula Warmath

To the Grimes Family, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Paula. I worked with Paula on many projects in the MIS Section of VR. She was always pleasant and willing to help or assist in any way she could. She really meant a lot to all of us. She had a kind spirit and was so easy to talk with. She touched many Lives during her time here. Take courage in knowing that she had a heart of love which is of the father. She poured out to so many of us across the state of Florida. May you...

Kenny, Amanda and Jake- Paula has always been a joy in our family and it is a blessing to know how God has used her willingness to serve in all areas of her life. Know we love you!
