Paula Gaimari contributed a "sense of community" to wherever she went. I shall remember her from Fridays at the beauty shop, where she shared info on the weather & updates from the morning WASHINGTON POST. She also expressed pleasure in past high school reunions & her current experimental art projects. She is already greatly missed.

I think of Paula every time I attempt a crossword puzzle. I remember her telling me at our 50th reunion that she does them every day and works on them till they're done! She was a sweet, quiet and loving person, throughout BCHS school days and beyond, and I looked forward to seeing her again at our 55th union, where we connected again. She remains a friend in my heart, a dear classmate from the Class of 63. She'll be missed. God bless her brothers and nephews in your loss. We share your sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear of Paula's passing. We both attended American U after graduating from BCHS and stayed in the D.C. area. We enjoyed having lunch periodically until I moved to Colorado in 2017. I enjoyed seeing her again at our 55th reunion. She was a lovely person and will be missed.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Paula's death. My heart goes out to her family and may they find peace in their loss of a wonderfully kind and generous person. I was a High School friend and we shared many lunches and classes together. Paula will be missed at our next HS reunion.

God bless you and hold you in his loving arms. Perhaps you'll see my Mom who is there helping others, including me after she passed. You were such a part of our childhood and adolescence. Godspeed. RIP

I remember Paula fondly as she was the first person to befriend me when I entered the 7th grade.My family had moved to Delmar, NY in November and it was very hard to enter Junior High School not knowing anyone. She was so sweet to me and I will forever be grateful to her!

So sad to learn of Paula's passing. I last saw Paula at our 55th BCHS Reunion of the Class of 1963 in October, 2018. Please keep me posted ([email protected]) on any further information so I may pass it along to Paula's BC classmates. Sincere condolences to Warren and family as well as Thurman. Paula and I were homeroom buddies through our school years and I remember her fondly.

I called Paula on Thursday, July 25 to ask her to meet for lunch. She said she had a cold and was going to take some cold medication. I have known Paula for more than ten years. She was a lovely sweet lady and my friend. I was shocked to see her death notice in the Post this morning. Please notify me when you have a memorial service for her.
