Paula & I became friends due to strange circumstances. In getting to know her I learned that she was a wonderful woman, kind, caring, considerate, loving & very supportive of the people in her lives that she cared about, one of which was me & I am so thankful that if even for a short time I had the pleasure of knowing her & calling her my friend. The memory of her will ALWAYS be with me. We had a few private jokes between us that I think of everyday & it makes me smile. I will ALWAYS have the memory of all of our good conversations. She will NEVER be forgotten! My heart breaks for you & your family. May God be with all of you while going through this rough time. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Rest in Peace Paula...you will be missed!

I remember visiting you with Lucy and her family many years ago with a request from Bob to think of an easy breakfast you Carol could make Paula because she was so picky. I told you about toasting a bagel with butter and then putting cream cheese on it. I understood shortly after she was eating that all the time. Funny how certain things stick in your mind.

May the thoughts of sympathy help to ease your pain at this difficult time.
