What a wonderful person we have lost, but Heaven has gained a great woman.



Thank you, Paula, for always being so happy and joyful to be around. I have missed talking to you in the last few months, but know for sure I will see you again.



We will miss you, but we are also happy you are no longer in pain. We here at the office have come up with a motto for you and it is: "Now she's dancing without the pain."



We love you.

Paula and I went to Mercy together. Paula always had a smile on her face. I ran into her a year or so ago and she hadn't changed a bit. My prayers are with her daughter and family.

Paula you will be missed by all your friends at Bloom Elementary where you drove for many years. Your friend Bonny had you drive for many of our field trips and that was always appreciated. You were always happy and great with the kids. Thanks
