What I wanted to say but couldn't! Mom had the smallest feet but the biggest, warmest heart! She cared about EVERYONE she met and loved...even when it was not reciprocated. How did she remember all those birthdays and anniversaries!!!??? The baby blankets and quilts!! Her love and devotion to her family was so amazing. She was the strongest person I've ever met! She never stopped trying, never gave up! Her resolve to overcome was higher and greater than Mt Everest. She was my first and best teacher, my soft place to land, my guide and my best friend. She will be with me every moment of my life and won't be forgotten. Her legacy will live on through her children and grandchildren and no Mom, we will make sure your great-grands remember you!!!! I was blessed with the most amazing Mom and she will be dearly missed. Rest Mom, you've earned it. I love you so much!! Thank you for giving us your heart. ❤️

Paula was so sweet and special and loved her family so much. Her life was all about her family. She gave so much of her love and cared so much for Paul her husband, her children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved traveling especially cruising. Paula will be missed by all and God must have needed a Special Angel who will put her Angel wings around all her loved ones to protect and comfort them always.
Paula was always smiling and laughing. She was quick witted and could bring a smile to whoever she talked. She always made you feel like you were special. She will be missed by all.

Paula was like a second mom to me. My best friend Denyse and I went up to visit her parents at their home and she was so welcoming. I will miss her so much and keep all the memories in my heart. All my love, Michelle Fecher
