Paula and I were childhood friends who lost track of each other for many, many years but reconnected when my Mom was admitted to the facility at which Paula worked. Today, my cousin who is a Mercy grad called me to tell me of Paula's death last November. I am so very sorry for her family. I have happy memories of Paula, her Mom, and her sisters from when we were all so very young. Leona Gniewek Shell
