PAULA M. WHITMORE

I loved Paula and miss her every day. She was one of a kind.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and with your family.
Paula was always smiling and happy.
May she rest with the Lord.

John, I am so sorry to hear about Paula's untimely passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. This is an anonymous quote for you: "Grief never ends, but it changes. It is a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love."

John,
I am so sorry to learn of loss of your wife, Paula. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
With sympathy,
Jenny King

John and family,
My heart goes out to you all. I love Paula. I just cannot believe she has past.
I always said to myself how we never could see enough of you and Paula when we were together. Our visits were all so short. But we all will meet again and never have to say good-bye won't we. May the Lord hold you up and give you strength and peace. My love to you John and all your family.
In Christ,
Mary Frances Carzoli (Gundry)

Strength and courage to you, John as you allow wonderful memories of your Paula to begin to plug the hole in your heart.

Ken joins me in sending Sparkplug love to you and yours in this most tender time. May the coming days and nights be ever gentle with your soul.

When I told Barb her first reaction was, "Wow. She was such a nice person. I enjoyed her so much at the reunions. We were always able to talk so easily."

John, we are both so sorry.

God Bless the Whitmore Family My Prayers goes out to You ALL

Paula Our hearts are broken. You will always be remembered and loved, especially as we share memories with our family from Greece. We have shared many wonderful, loving memories over the past 48 years. You and the memories will remain in hearts forever.

John: So sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Paula must have been an amazing woman and a great partner for you. I have not forgotten the spirit of the True Gentleman that you taught me, and my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. PA, Hugh "Boo" Sinnock

Dearest John...Sharon and I are devastated by the sudden loss of your lovely Paula--made all the more shocking by the wonderful memory of our day together just 3-weeks ago. Between praying and crying and holding each other, we dearly wish we could wrap our arms around you and hold you close.

Our minds, today, seek happier times...when we first met Paula--you two came to L.A. for the Rose Bowl in '69 and just had to "make the scene" at Whiskey A-Go-Go in Hollywood. So many miles--so many smiles...All this time--aging like wine...The glow of friendship--the warmth of LOVE: THEN and NOW and FOREVERMORE...the prayers of our faith will guide and carry you through this valley of darkness, into eternal light.

With all of our love,
Don & Sharon

I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless. Patty Collins

Shocked and at a loss for words. Paula is resting with Jesus, her two other children and other family members. We love you. We will miss you. Your humor was unmatchable. Remember our balloon ride? Gosh the fun we had
raising our kids in Arlington Park. The lake etc. so many memories. Thank goodness we got together in Fl this spring. My dear friend you will live in my heart forever. It won't be all that long until we meet again. I love you.

So carry to hear about Paula's passing. Annelle and I send out best to you and the family. God Bless you all and watch over you

Mr Whitmore, I am so very saddened by the loss of your
beautiful wife. You and your family are in my prayers and
thoughts. May God put His loving arms around you for comfort and love.

Johnny,

I was greatly saddened yesterday when I was informed about Paula's passing. I can still remember the day you brought her to your parents' home "to meet the family...surprise." My first impression of Paula has lasted all these years hence. She was so pretty, kind, loving, generous, friendly and you felt at ease around her immediately. I always looked forward to seeing the two of you at our Family Reunions; you were greatly missed this year. May God Bless you, Jason, Stacy and the rest of the Whitmore family with His grace and peace as you grieve your loss. Also, as you grieve, may you recall all those wonderful memories you have of 48+ great years together.

Love,

Donny

John, so very sorry to hear your news of losing Paula. She was a beautiful, loving lady that we all loved. You will be in our thots and prayers.
Bev Woodford

John, Stacy, Jason and the Whitmore family,
We can only wish you all the sympathy and love from our hearts. This has to be a paralyzing shock for you. In offering some condolences, we want you to know that so many of us, the people she has shared some precious time with, know what a lovely LADY is leaving now. She will be missed, we are all sharing a bit of your sorrow.
She loved you all dearly, hold on to that now.

John and Family:
We share in your loss and remember Paula as a very special person, friend and neighbor. You are in our prayers as you go through this terrible time. May God hold you gently in the palm of his hand.
Sincere Sympathy from the Pitsch Family

My heart is with you, my cousin John, and entire family. I have such great memories of Paula's bright smile and warm embrace at each Gundry family reunion. God's arms are wrapped around her as she journeys and her arms are wrapped around you from the heavens.

The last time I saw Aunt Paula, she came to my daughter's dance recital with my mother, Jane Wilks. They were only going to stay to see her, but they were so amused by everything they stayed the entire time. I could not stop laughing, watching them giggle at the little kids.

Laughter till tears, enjoying every moment, no matter how small. That was Paula. I always felt loved by her. God was alive in her every hour or every day. I am blessed to have her as an angel.

To John and Family, I am so sorry and sad for your loss. Paula was a wonderful, kind,fun and loving person. I looked forward to seeing her each month. May God Bless your family

John,
She was a ray of sunshine in your life every day. Becky and I are so sorry for your loss of such a loving wife and person

May God bless and watch over Mrs. Whitmore and the family in both this difficult time and into the future. Always remember that God has a plan. We often don't understand His plan but he needed Mrs. Whitmore for a bigger part of His plan. All of our love and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. Paula was always such a fun and caring person. She will be missed by many.

Love,
Claudia Huettl

John:

So sorry to hear about Paula. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

April

John and famly, we are very sorry for your loss. Whenever we saw her, she greeted us with a smile an kind words. May she rest in peace in the arms of Our Lord.

Judy and Sid

I am so sad to hear this news about your incredible wife and mother (truly such a kind soul). You all have a special place in my heart and I will keep you in my prayers as you navigate this extremely difficult time.

We are so sorry for your loss. Paula was such a wonderful person, full of life and fun. She will be missed.
Love, Bill and Kathleen Watts

Needless to say Paula's passing is a tremendous loss. We have grown so close over the years - 8 of us- that her loss is a giant hole in this circle of friends.

She was the dearest friend and all would say the nicest person we ever were privileged to know. God will surely have a high place for her.

John you know we are here for you, if we can help in the future. Just call. We will see you soon.

From the bottom of my heart, I am so very sorry for the loss of Paula. She was a lovely and loving lady and we were all blessed to have known her. Those who knew her were made better because of it.

I also wanted to personally thank you and Paula for the life lessons taught to me over the yearsthe most important lesson being that family is not about blood. It's about whose willing to hold your hand and heal your heart when you need it the most. Please remember that lesson works both ways---when you need me, I'm here.

God bless and may his love and the love of family and friends bring each of you the comfort and peace you all deserve during this difficult time.
