Not sure what to say?

I am so sad to learn of Paula's passing. I hadn't seen her in years but remember her as a fellow teacher and friend. About 40 years ago Paula and I plus 2 other good friends spent a long weekend together at a friend's cabin learning to cross country ski! What fun we had that weekend!!!
Rest in peace Paula!
My condolences to your family.

Jeff and family,
Blessings of love and strength as all of you move through another time of change. Paula will always be remembered as a caring and loving person to everyone. I wish you the best.
With Love. Patricia (Roek) Bond

Paula reached out to me for our 50th FHS class reunion then stayed in touch. She was always doing things and was there for her classmates, family and friends. She quietly, with utmost grace exemplified good, kindness, peace, compassion...she was so appreciated and respected! We were all blessed to share life's path with such a beautiful person inside and out. Sincerest condolences to those who knew her. May you find comfort in the special memories she gifted to you.

My sincere condolences to the McDonald/Wietke families. You have lost a special, wonderful wife, mother, sister,aunt. In the years I taught with Paula I found her to be a sweet, friendly, kind soul, who cared deeply about children. I admired her calm, gentle ways with students and staff and her empathy and dedication to students who struggled. She will be dearly missed. May you be sustained by the warm,happy memories.

We are shocked and very sad to hear of Paula’s passing. We are traveling home from Florida, so won’t make it to the funeral home. We pray for peace and healing at this most unfortunate and difficult time. Will connect, Jeff, when we get home.

Kim and family,
So very sorry to hear about Paula's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
