I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Paula. I was fortunate to be a friend of Paula. We would go on fun trips with her to many different places, activities, or just whatever, always laughing and having a great time. She was loved by many and will be missed. Prayers for Chris, Jacob and Hunter and the whole family. Georgene Smith

I miss grandma I only knew her for two years but we made good memories from the first time meeting her to the boat races or even just a good laugh out of each-other. I love her always and she will always be with me wherever I go, I know her sweet angel is looking down on us cheering us on, I was praying she would be at graduation but I know her angle with be there, wherever I go grandma I will always save you a seat. I hope I continue to make my step dad and you proud. I love you more than anything and I miss you most of all. Rest easy grandma Paul see you when the time comes. 🕊️🕊️😢❤️
A dear sweet lady. Loved by many. Will be missed. ❤️❤️❤️ Pat and Joyce Pajak.
I cannot choose just one memory out of several years of friendship. We have taken several trips together and have had a lot of laughs. She was a really good friend and I will miss her more than my words can express.
