    So sad to have to say “goodbye” too late and from afar. Paula knew she was an important part of many lives and volunteered to take care of so many throughout her life. But I don’t think she ever realized how much and how deeply she was a part of so many lives she did not see or speak to on a regular basis. Family, friends and neighbors, we all loved her and loved her heart that she wore openly at all occasions, the happy ones and the sad ones. Nobody I know of will replace the tears she brought to celebrate the good things and sad things we all came together to share. Funerals, Paula cried, Weddings, Paula cried, her beautiful tears will never fade from my memories of her. I think of Paula and Donna (her sister) every time I see anything to do with “The Flintstones” or hear “Yabba-Dabba-Doo.” My sister Barbara, Paula’s mom would often babysit me when we were kids, and one of the last TV shows on before bedtime was “Leave it to Beaver” and “The Flintstones.” I think we saw every episode from their home in College Park so many years ago. I really wish now, I could hear Paula call out to me one last time from the halls of Beltsville Jr. High School, ” Hi, Uncle Gary.” It never ever embarrassed me, it always made me proud. Love you, Paula and will miss you. Uncle G.

      Gary you said it all beautifully. No matter where we have wandered in our lives, We will always have strong bonds with our family. We were taught by two of the best. So Many memories, family parties, dinner at the kids table growing up. Plays songs and dressing up. always laughter and love. And of course letting uncle Gary know that she was there after he told us not to in school. Still cracks me up. I’m Saying good bye to not just my cousin but true old friend as well. Paula rest well, I will miss you and your cheery Hello. 🐭💕.

    Jimmy, Cheryl and I share your grief and hope you find strength in God to help you carry on. My immune system is compromised due to my recent surgery, and in light of the corona virus, we will not be able to be there physically, but we will be there in spirit.
