very hard to deal with the loss of a beautiful person as you, I hope sincerely that you and Christy have felt the love that I hold for you , I think of you often and feel a deep sadness at times.
I pray that the lord holds your mother in his hands through this time of sorrow,
Beth and Rick you know that if there were a way to take the hurt ,you know I would.
I cant be there tomorrow. If only I were informed sooner.
with all my love,

When I first heard about Paula, it broke my heart. Paula
had a heart of gold. I can remember my 6th grade year
trying out for cheerleading. Paula was my leader even
though there was other girls on the team she gave me
her attention. Because she done that I made the team
and I have a lot of confidence because of her. I will never
forget that. I will pray for your family and your children.Shelly L Taute, Missouri (MO)

Paula, you will be missed by all that knew you. From the minute I met you and every time I saw you
you were a light that brightened up the whole room. You were funny and smart and fun to be around.
But most of all I knew you through your best friend and my daughter-in-law Jenny Brayman.
You two had an unspoken language and could pick up at any point where the other left off. I know she
is heartbroken and will miss you terribly. But she will carry on remembering all the years of friendship
the two of you shared. I’m happy that I had the opportunity to spend time with you when you came to
visit. We had our own adventures in Watch Hill and Misquamicut and I watched as you played in the
surf and on the rocks. You will be missed Paula, by us all!Marion Bedgood, Hope Valley, RI

Paula was the only person who really knew me, she saw me for what I am and loved me for it. We
should all be so lucky to have someone like her in our lives. I wish for her family to find peace in the
days to come and that they are comforted by the amazing memories they have with her. Rest in piece
my beautiful sister. I will never stop loving you.Jennifer Brayman, Kansas City, MO

are.You will truly be missed Paule by so many who loved and cared about you.My
condolences to your children, family, and friends RIP friendNicole Carr (Elliott), Independence, Mo
