It's hard not to remember all the wonderful memories I have of "Auntie Paula". From the Easter Baskets she made for all the cousins, that huge Christmas tree perfectly decorated, the trips to the beach in summer, driving us to Uncle Buddy's worksite to drop off his lunch when he was building houses and not telling Uncle Buddy the mischief Paul and I caused, which was most of the time!
These were the times when family was "family". I was lucky to have her as an aunt but she was more than that...she was your friend.
Our family has lost the last bright light of a wonderful generation and it is now up to all of us to carry on the legacy.
Riposa in Pace

I was deeply saddened to learn of your Mom's passing. I have so many fond memories of Auntie Paula & Uncle Bud when they would come to Topsfield to visit the Gangi cousins. As a child growing up I always thought of your Mom as the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Uncle Bud could pass for my Godfather Tony Gangi's brother because they looked so much alike.
I'm so glad for the chances, though they were too few and far between when I could get together with your Mom after your Dad passed. They will always hold a special place in my heart. My heartfelt condolences go out to each and everyone of you.

I will miss the almost weekly phone calls from Paula. It was not always about maintenance. Many times it was for me to come up and get a bottle of wine, freshly baked cookies or just to chat about her observations that were going on around the complex.
Paula loved her condo and the memories she had while living at fellsview.
I will miss her smile, her sense of humor and intelligent conversations.
God will bless you Paula because you were a very special person

To my cousins Paul Anthony and Steven, so much of our early years we spent together not just on holidays but during the week at grandpa Gange's and on Bowen ave at your house. Your mother was a beautiful woman who loved cooking for her family and was always ready to stay longer when Uncle Buddy was itching to go. In my in frequent visits to your mom she talked proudly about her children and grandchildren. She baked the best sesame seed cookies and they were always my favorite at the holiday meals. Even during my short visits she would set a table with plenty of food and urging to have more go ahead louise have more. I am so happy that she was a part of my life and you boys now men were blessed with a wonderful mother
