I am very sorry to hear about Paula. We went to high school together and I've probably only saw her a few times since but she always had a smile and I was always happy to see her. May she rest in peace and may she watch over all who loved her.

Karla and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed working with Paula for many years at University/BMC. She told stories of Karla and other adventures. She had a great laugh that was contagious. Paula gave my 3rd son the nick name of BAM BAM that he has grown to fullfill. We will all miss her and never forget her. We love Paula

I am so sorry for the loss of Paula. I worked with her for many years in BMC ER. She was a very caring nurse and always made me laugh. She always talked about her daughter Karla. Paula gave me a baby shower and supported me through a hard time in my life. I hope she is at peace and that time and good memories will help ease your pain. Kathy Higgins RN
