Jimmy,
I fondly remember her warm, generous hospitality and kind spirit whenever I visited your home during our high school days. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Best wishes,

My deepest sympathy to the entire Paul family. She was a very special woman and will be missed by all.
Mrs Paul made a difference in my life. I wanted my nursing career to reflect her life’s mission. She made a difference in so many lives.
Jimmy, Ron and the rest of the family: I am so sorry to hear of this sad news. Our families go way back …I do believe my sister went into nursing because of my Aunt Cil and your mom. No one needs to tell you what an “Angel” she was. Gee…it’s been a long time…but the last time I saw her was at Tutor’s (ha!) and she STILL had that same great smile on her face; really a great woman, I loved your mom.
May God help you during this painful time.
Jimmy, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Your mom was a special lady. (Marsha O’Dea Maier)
Dear friend Rollo, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.. Hugs, Dugie
