"Paula came into my life in 3rd grade. She lived across the street. We attended Hawley Elementary, North Junior High, FDSH, and ICCC. She was always in my heart even when we lost touch for awhile. So many memories:):) Seeing her at our 40th class reunion was a real gift. To the good ole days!! May the family find peace and comfort knowing she is with her parents now. Thinking of you Bruce, Erin, and all of the family members I knew over the years. "
