Paula was a classmate of mine at St. Stans Grade School and High School. We ate lunch together our Freshman and Senior years. We had a lot of fun together as kids. Lost touch after she got married. She was on my mind today so I googled her. Thanks for the memories, dear friend.

I too was a classmate of Paula's at St. Stan's. So sad to hear of her passing.

I went to St. Stan's with Paula and we graduated together in 1967. Although we hadn't seen each other in many years, I have fond memories of her. I pray that she is at peace and her Family is strong. If they are 1/10th as strong as what Paula was when we knew each other, they'll do fine. She was a good friend back then. Better than I deserved.
