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...

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...

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!
