We were so deeply shocked and saddened to hear of Paula's passing. Barbara and Paula were on the same curling team a couple of years ago and got to know each other. Our sincerest sympathy goes out to you and Paula's family for her very untimely passing.

Dear Maureen, Colleen, and Kendall family,

I was so sorry to hear of Paula's passing. I was speechless. God must've needed another angel and thought she would be the the perfect one. Paula was always a caring and very helpful individual and full of wisdom. Maureen and Colleen always remember the Benitez family will always be here for you! You girls are part of our family and have always been in our hearts! Whenever you need anything don't hesitate to call me. Silvia will be home September 9 and as soon as she gets back her first stop is to go be with you girls. We Love You!

Dear George, Maryann, Chuck and Family:

We can't tell you how saddened we are to hear of Paula's passing. The shock and grief must be unbelievable. Though we never got to know her just knowing all of you and what special people you all are just tells us that she had to be a special person. There really is no rhyme or reason as to why God calls some of us home before our work here is done. We will keep each of you in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

With love,

Don & Dee

OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY.



JERRY AND HELGA

August 25, 2002

When tomorrow starts without me,

and I'm not there to see;

If the sun should rise and find

your eyes all filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,

while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me, as

much as I love you,

and each time you think of me

I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without

me, please try to understand,

that an angel came and called my

name and took me by the hand,

and said my place was ready in

heaven far above,

and that I'd have to leave behind

all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, a

tear fell from my eye,

for all my life, I'd always thought

I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for and so

much yet to do,

it seemed almost impossible that I

was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,

the good ones and the bad,

I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday, I

thought, just for awhile,

I'd say goodbye and kiss you and

maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized that this could never be,

for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.

And when I thought of wordly things that I'd miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you.

Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,

and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful, so trusting, so true.

Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.

You have been forgiven and now at last you're free.

So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?"



So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart.

For everytime you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.
