Joel and boys:
I cannot tell you how filled with sorrow I was at the news of Paula's passing. In this past few years we didn't see each other often but when we did it we picked right back up where we left off. Facebook allowed me to keep in daily contact and follow her fight. She was a tough bird who had a heart of gold. Our endless talks on the front porch at our old neighborhood will never be forgotten. I love you all and as Paula always signed off...."HUGGIES"

Joel, Joel Jr., Kyle and Chris,

I only knew Paula online and from telephone conversations. If I could have chosen a sister on my own she would have been one I would have picked. She helped me get through some tough times and was a true friend. She will be greatly missed. My prayers, love and hugs are sent your way. May you find peace knowing that there is another special angel to watch over you.
