I am still absolutely saddened and still in a little disbelief that my mother is no longer here to guide me and my 3 other brothers through the various doors in life. She was the world to me. She taught me the simple things in life that as a child you never really think about until you are much older. Mom's do truly know best! There is not a day that goes by that those little things that I do on a daily basis were installed by the best teacher I could have ever asked for. My mother would and generally did anything for anybody. Her love, passion, and personality are all installed in me and my 3 other brothers. Every time I spoke with my mom, I always made sure to thank her; not just for something she might have done in particular but for EVERYTHING. I miss and love you with all my heart mommie; and I thank you once again for everything you ever did for me. I am grateful that you were able to spend 12 wonderful days with your grandson. Those are 12 day's that I will hold dear to my heart for the rest of my life until we meet again. As Evan gets older he will know what a wonderful grandmother he truly has. Those simple but powerful things you always did for me will be shared with your grandson. I will see you again soon. I love U!

Words can not begin to express the joy this woman brought into my life, at the same time words cannot express my sadness at having lost our dearest , sweet Paula. Her favorite Bible verse Psalm 139 perfectly reflects God's masterful plan for her life. When she was knitted in her mother's womb,she was gifted to all of those fortunate to share a moment of her life with her, was born a smile, a glowing personality, intelligence, humor and a loyalty to her friends that was unparalleled. In all of the years she was my best friend and sidekick never once did she stray from her life's mission, to encourage , care for and take care of her family first. Even as this horrid disease ravaged her body her smile shown brightly, and she was concerned about her family's future without her guidance to encourage them through life's struggles. Paula was a one of a kind jewel that can never be replaced. I always told her that as beautiful as her smile shown on those who's life she touched, she had the purest and sweetest of hearts that always beat as God's heartbeat, love, encourage , respect, honor your family and friends and never give up on them no matter how difficult life's circumstances. We love and miss you, PMS ,your smile will shine forever brightly in our hearts. Oh, and if you are truly washing the feet of Jesus as was your hope, watch the amount of bleach you use because I'm not sure even the good Lord himself could survive one of your bleach cleaning moments. Love you kid!

Paula was my dearest friend when we were in junior high school and beyond. One of our favorite activities in high school was having breakfast together enjoying the school cafeteria's wonderful cinnamon rolls and pineapple juice. She always lit up a room with her smile, her personality and sense of fun. Her laugh was infectious and was a joy to talk with. She was very intelligent. Her good grades and success in school came easily to her, but she worked hard on projects that were important to her, usually taking a leadership role. She was a genuine, naural beauty, but never seemed to realize it.

She loved talking about her sons and was so proud of all of them. She was especially excited about becoming a grandmother. God is so good for giving her the gift of some special time with her newborn grandson. Nothing could keep her from travelling to see and hold him.

We have the promise of reuniting in Heaven with friends and family who love the Lord in Heaven. Paula was a devout Christian. I am so thankful I will see her again. Eternity is almost enough time to spend with my dear, sweet friend.

My sincere condolences to Paula's family and friends.
