Alice Paula Cahhal, 85, died Monday, September 17, 2012, at Regency Care Center in Norwalk from respiratory failure. She was born April 19, 1927, in Lincoln, Nebraska, and raised by her parents, Charles and Ada (Pauley) Henderson.

Dear Family:
My sincere condolences at the loss of your beloved Mother and Wife.
Paula will always hold a special place in my heart. She and my Mother Zada Renninger were best friends until I lost my Mother in 1985. In fact I baby sat for Kevin, Doug and Kerri. I have had an on-again and off-again 'email' relationship with your Mom since at least 2000. My last real message from your Mom was in March of this year. So, I knew about her declining health. I have been very concerned because I wasn't getting responses and assumed the worst. I found this obituary on line. Please know your Mom and Wife was dearly loved by many people. I hope her last journey was peaceful one.
Hugs to you all,
Carole Renninger Camacho
