Hard to believe a year has passed already. I have thought of Paula many times since her passing. I think of her gentle nature. She kept a positive attitude up until the end in our phone conversations. Even though I didn't see her often I do miss her. I came to Ohio in May and it saddened me that I could no longer visit with her. The wonderful memories from our childhood to our senior years will keep her in my heart. Sending my thoughts to the family.

I became friends with Paula at Hebron Elementary School. She was a quiet girl with a sweet & kind personality and so smart. As we grew into Jr. High & High School we were usually in the same Homeroom together because of our last name beginning with W and sat near each other.
So sorry to hear of her passing.

I knew Paula from Hebron elementary school starting in the 4th grade. We liked to play on the monkey bars.She was always quiet and shy and I was the loud funny one but we became the best of friends. I moved to California in 1976 when I married so we didn't see each other much for several years. But whenever I came to Ohio we got together for lunch and caught up on each other's lives. We have stayed in touch through calls and text and I am really missing hearing her voice and laughter already. She had such a deep love for her family and often spoke of their travels and times together. I send my deepest condolences to all who loved this special lady.Paula will live on in our hearts through the wonderful memories we have of her.
