Dearest Family of Paula…
Bruce, Derek and Garrett..What a beautiful Wife, Mother, you were blessed with.
We feel so very blessed to have been given through the years such a wonderful friend.

Alexi Bonogofsky says
My name is Alexi Marie Bonogofsky. I do not remember anything about my grandma Paula. I am 13, and dad says she died when i was a newborn. My parents both say she loved me very much… I miss her dearly and cry almost every single night. I keep a picture of her with me always. My dad gets very sad whenever we talk about her, considering he is the one who found her that horrible night. My father is still sad to this day, but we all love him very much. Also thank goodness GRANDMA DOROTHY IS STILL ALIVE. 90 I think and still kicking it! Grandma Sheryl is doing well too, but she is moving soon and i am very sad about that. If you ever see this grandma, thanks for the quilt, i love it too much for my own good. So warm and cozy!! Love you all. Love you grandma paula. 🙁
Gerri Calhoun says
Paula hope you and Grandma Minnie are having many sleepovers and making lots of cheese buttons. Many of sleepovers spent there watching Lawrence Welk on the 13” black and white tv and placing phone calls on the party line. And remember the first time we saw her without her wig. Scared us all. RIP cousin.
