in the science department. so sorry that i just heard today or i would
have gone to her funeral. with the sweetest smile, Paula charmed all she
met.

The first time I met Paula was when our son Andrew started his first day of kindergarten at the Longfellow school with her son Bryan. Paula and several of
the other parents we met became involved in school affairs.
Paula was always the "go to person" when something needed to get done.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
