Many years ago, I was blessed to be introduced to Paula. My amazement at how professional, yet humanistic her demeanor was never ceased. Through the many changes that have occured in the CMSD, Paula made my transitions much easier. I'll miss sharing Starbucks Gift Cards, but I'll sip a cup in her honor!

I pray that you remain in His Grace,

Dear John and Lisa & Family,

Paula is now in the arms of Jesus, No sickness or suffering, her beautiful smile is lighting up heaven. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. When I first met her I felt as if I had known her for years. Lisa when you prayed with her the prayer of forgiveness and she gave her Heart to Jesus, the bible says that all of the angels in heaven rejoiced because of that one soul you led to Jesus and I can’t even begin to know how loud that was! there are so many angels. When Paula took her last breath she was immediately in the presents of Lord! One day we will see her again. Paula watching you from heaven nowJ

Love you Aunt Arnetta

To the family of Paula Campbell- Paula is a dear friend of my sister, Pat,and John Chilkcutt. I remember meeting and talking with Paula at summer cookouts. I was so hurt and sad to hear of Paula's illness - she has touched so many lives not only of people close to her, but distant friends that hear the stories of kindness and encouragement that Paula has given to others. Truly the gates of Heaven are open. We love you Paula and our prayers are with your family at this time. We will miss you.

Paula,
You will Always be in my Heart.

Paula, I looked at a star
and began to weep, and I could hear you say,
“Judy, why are you weeping?”
And the Judy answered,
“Paula, I weep because you are so far away, and I will not be able to touch or see you.”
And Paula answered,
“Judy, if I were not already
in your heart, you would not be able to remember me.”

Thinking of your family at this time and extending my deepest
understanding and sympathy.
