I just messaged Paula when her mother passed away ... I had no idea she, too, was dealing with cancer, and am surely sad to learn of her passing. Paula & I worked together at DeToys back in the 80s & became fast friends. I cherish the laughs & fun times we had ...

Paula was one of my best friends when I moved to St. James if she wasn't at my house I was at hers. I have so many memories of all the times we spent together. We lost track of each other after graduation, but I still have all our memories. We had ALOT of fun. I am so sorry for your loss of not only Paula but Cindy recently. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Our prayers and sympathies are with you all. I will always remember you as the competitive mom who always told me how many runs we needed to win the T-Ball games our boys were in.

Your life was cut short. Seems so unfair but God knows what he's doing. He picked a beautiful lady to bring home for reasons unknown to us. Pat, Sadie and Seth just know that she loved you more than life itself and you have wonderful memories to keep in your hearts forever, of the beautiful wife and mother that she was to you. And someday soon you will see her again. I love you, and I loved her, and all I can do now is continue to pray that God gives you strength and comforts you through this most difficult time.
