So sorry Lora!
Paula was my sister. She was fierce but fragile. She was an amazing woman who loved her family – ALL of us! There were no half or step siblings, just brothers and sisters. Paula spoke in wisdom and in sarcasm. She had quick whit and a feisty attitude. She meant what she said and said what she meant. If he mouth held back, her face still told you. She loved her husband dearly and her children with all that she had. She was brilliant at baking confections, a talent I don’t possess, and her pineapple upside down cake was a favorite. She hated cats and idiot drivers but loved dogs and potatoes (any and all types). She was as tender as can be but as bad-ass as they come. She was amazing….. Paula, I will always love you to the end of the earth. I’ll miss your smile and your friendship and you will never be forgotten.
We were so sad to hear of Paula’s passing Paula and Joe were our neighbors for many years! Paula was a strong and loving person and always so kind! We will miss her!
Paula is a beautiful soul! She so loved her family! Her kindness radiated in her smile. That was a given, the first day I met her. (My husband worked with her.). Shane always called her PK. My heart goes out to all of you! Love transcends! ❤️
I am glad I had the pleasure of knowing her even though it was for such a brief time. Beautiful person!
