Christina and David I had the opportunity to be married to your mother for 40 years. She was a wonderful women she loved you both so much she would always ask for you everyday making sure you were okay. I promised her that I would take good care of the two of you.
Always remember you both have a special angel looking out for you. Remember the smile she had when she saw you. Remember the times when she hugged you just because. And always remember to be good, her favorite saying to the both of you.
I will always love Paula and I will always love you Christina and David. DAD

Paula and I worked together at Kraft Food Service many years ago. Even though we have been many miles apart we would try to stay in touch. Paula loved her Andy and her beautiful daughter Christina and handsome son David. I loved Paula's spirit, determination, and love of life. We shared many laughs and at times tears of joy and sadness. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. The heart remembers most what it has loved best. Rest in peace...

Where do I start about my Aunt Paula...I guess when she came to live with use for a while. She was so much funny and loved to laugh. I remember my sisters and Paula singing to the Supreme's. They called themselves the Superb's. Best memory ever. I will remember her by how much fun she was. My thoughts are with my Uncle Andy and family. I have missed your smile Paula. Love, Dianne

My deepest sympathies to Andy and his entire family for the loss of his precious sister, Paula. God is with each of you.

I had the pleasure of working with Paula at the Seniors' Resource Center. We would laugh about our email address identification at work. We were both pgonzales. Often we got each others email messages in error. And even more ironic was that my husbands name and her husbands name was Andy. It made us laugh. Paula was a kind, gentle person with a big heart.
My prayers go out to the family but also know she is at peace now.
It was an honor to work with Paula

To My Aunt Paula and her family : Andy , Christina , David ,
I remember the both of us vying for Mom / Gandma's Jennies ,
attention when we were younger . And also all the times you took
me places like the oriental theater , Elitch Gardens , Lakeside and
even Mrs. Bakers , store down the block on Xavier St. More often than not you were always keeping me in my place and I fully deserved it .
And I remember how you loved school at Holy family as well as the
day you got married . I also remember that you were always a tough
out spoken person and afraid of no one at like 14 years of age from
anyone that overstepped their boundary with you .. You were awesome then , awesome in life and I'm sure you'll be awesome in heaven . My deepest condolences to the Garcia Family ! I love you Aunt Paula !

Christina, your family is in my thoughts. I only knew your mom through you, and from your descriptions I always saw a kind, intelligent human being with an amazing spirit. I have no doubt her love will continue to change the world for the better through you and your family.

I'm so very sad and sorry for your loss. I only had the rare chance to meet Paula on a few occasions at BBQ's at Andy's house and a couple of Baby showers. I loved to sit and visit with her. She was always smiling and Happy. I loved to hear about her travels to collect her teapots and the travels some of her teapots made to get to her. Sounds like she had quite the collection.I know she will be greatly missed here on earth. But just think of the treasure that heaven has just received. My sincere condolences to all of the Family.

Paula you lived your life to the fullest. You cared about your Community, animals and children.
You were a hard worker and earned your retirement.
You loved all of your brothers and sisters, passed and present.
Most of all, you were married to the man that was the love of your life, Andy who was there to the very end. Your children are so proud of you and all the different things you accomplished and still you challenged yourself even more. We both shared a Special love for our grandson, Kekoa and our daughter Anela who have both brought joy into both our lives.
Thank you so much for opening your home and your heart to them.
And they reciprocated with the love they have for you.
The several times I had met you, you lit up with delight as you talked about David, Anela and Kekoa.
You showed much love and kindness to my husband, Scott and I.
You carried a very warm Spirit and walked with God throughout your life. And we all know you're dancing with the Angels.
Now it's time for you to rest and be free from all the pain and exhaustion you had to endure for the last 20 years. The biggest thing we had in common was the love we have for our children, Christina, David, Anela and our little Miracle baby, Kekoa. I know you will now be guiding them from above. It was a true honor to have known you and I wish we could have had more time to spend with each other. I promise we'll help David as much as we can for you.
Dance and Sleep with the Angels, Paula. Love and God Bless for ever and ever. You won't ever be forgotten and Kekoa will grow up knowing how much you loved him and how "special" he was to you. I'll be a good grandmother for both of us, Paula. With all our love. You will surely be missed by your friends and your family. You are as close as a thought so we'll be thinking of you often.

We has the pleasure of meeting and spending time with Paula in San Diego. She was a lovely person with a kind spirit! My cousin Anela adored her as if she was her own mother and her grandson Kekoa loved her more than anything! She will be greatly missed by her San Diego family! RIP Paula.

Love,
Erin, Chad, Hunter and Tanner Clark

Sincere sympathy to all the family. I will always remember Paula for her extraordinary drive to succeed, no matter how much work it took. She forged some new policies at Kraft for working women, and for that I salute her. She fought for her life with her usual determination, and I believe she has now found the peace and rest she deserved. God bless her memory in all our hearts.
