Deepest condolences to all of my cousins for the loss of their beloved mom. My Aunt Paula was an amazing woman - someone I looked up to and admired. I will always remember her with great fondness.

My deepest sympathies to all of you.
Paula always made me feel welcome in her home when I was a young bride (to Eddie Cangas) who sometimes felt awkward learning about a different culture. She tried, (but couldn't quite) to teach me to make round tortillas. Oh well.
She was an amazing woman.
She also raised two of my most favorite women in the world - Rita and Renay! And for that I will be forever grateful.
You were so blessed to have her.
Love you all!

Sam and I where co- captains on the footballteam together for the Bloodhounds back in the late 60's. After a good win, we always enjoyed going to Sam's home and experiencing the best echidnas in the world made by Paula. She would prepare them for days and to this day I have never tasted any better that her wonderful enchiladas. She was a great and gracious mom , she will be missed . RIP Paula.

I am so sorry to hear of Paula's passing. My Mom Virginia and Paula worked together at the hospital and we had many special conversations through the years about families and events. Thinking of you and sending prayers.

I will always remember you fondly. I loved going to the riverboat casino with you and family get togethers with you and all the other family members. I don't remember this but I loved you telling me about the time I lived with you and Uncle Rito when I was about one year old. I love you and will miss you. R.I.P Auntie Paula. God has received the best angel ever. Say hello to my Mom and Auntie Lucy.
