I got the chance to get to know Paula, my sophmore year in school.She was always so kind to everyone she met.I remember she loved to laugh,& if you were feeling down you did'nt feel that way for long around Paula. I was sad to learn of her passing,this world could use more people like Paula.

I remember Paula from my old neighborhood. She lived over on the next street from me. She and I also went to Loloma Elementary together. I remember her as just a quiet sweet girl who always blended into the background. She was a gentle soul who would never harm anyone or anything. I first heard of her passing a few years back when I was in Arizona to give my sister away at her wedding. Paula's brother, Carl, is still good friends with my brother, Todd. And Carl's daughter is friends with my niece, (Todd's daughter). I met Carl's daughter on the day I lest to come back here to Chicago. When they told me who she was I just said, "That means Paula's you're Aunt". Then they informed me of her passing. I understand she left behind a husband and son, and that she lost a battle to breast cancer. My sympathies to her family. My youngest sister is a survivor of breast cancer as she was diagnosed with it a couple years after I heard about Paula. I know the turmoil that's felt. May God rest her soul.
