It says so much about you the person when you have the respect of so many. You were always smiling no matter how bad you felt. We had so many talks about so many things. I'm going to miss you and I'm sorry I can't come say a proper goodbye.  I love you sweet lady. And Dan if you see this,know I'm praying for you.

God has gained another Angel to enter into his gates.You will truly be missed.My prayers are with your family and My dear friend Dan.

We'll miss you Paula.  But for now, it's time to Signal C .. Rest well my friend.

We Loved looking at the Beautiful Photographs of Paula and her Children and Grand children. We watched the kids grow up, living just down the street. We shared her love for Animals, her beloved Cato is buried in our back yard, Cato loved all the neighbors and passed away at our house and we called her and she said, he loved our yard just as much that we could bury him. What I always remember about Paula was her beautiful Smile! Our hearts and prayers are with  all of her family. Rex and Connie Warren, Arlington, Tn.

Paula was indeed a wonderful lady and you were fortunate to have been able to call her a friend.  Those times that she and Dan visited us in Alabama, were times that we will always consider to be collateral for the fondest of memories. It's amazing how time steals our years and our beloved friends away.  Our deepest condolences to her family and to Dan, who loved her dearly.  We will miss her.

Paula your whit and quick sense of humor will be missed around the communications bureau. May you rest in paradise. God has gained another angel Love Kim Bernard -Communications

PAULA, SO SORRY YOU WENT SO FAST. I HAD GREAT HOPES YOU WOULD BEAT THIS ILLNESS. YOU WILL BE MISSED. NOW YOU CAN SIT ON THE BEACH ALL THE TIME.

Although I only knew you for a short time, it seemed to be a lifetime of friendship and optimism in the face of your health struggles. Your courage and determination to return to work, are an inspiration to myself as well as others.
There are those who made it safely home because of your dedication and concern. Some of them may never realize who you were or, what you did; but I am sure they had a silent thought of gratitude when they walked in their front door after their shift.
Paula, for those who never had the opportunity to say it, and to those who are at the consoles this very minute...Thank you!

I am so glad Dan brought Paula to meet part of his family in AL. I loved her from the time I met her. You can rest now, no more pain.

Paula, we will miss you and never forget you and the good times we had the summer you spent with my mom and dad and us in Parma, Mo. Our sympathy to your family, I know you are a big loss to them. Rest in peace.  Bobby & Doris Aycock & Family

Dear, Dear Dan,
We know that Paula was the love of your life...our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this time. We are so very sorry for your loss. She was a great lady.

Paula, I will miss you with all my heart. I was honored that you let me care for you over the years. Just thinking about you will always bring a smile to my face. God bless you. I know you are in a better place and laughing at all the fuss down here.

My friend, my sista...I love you and already miss you.  
I laugh every time I think about training, you were so funny to train. Every time the radio would get hot, you'd have to take a smoke break. HAHA!  
You weren't very talkative but that sharp wit and that laugh, was entertaining.  We became friends and shared so many wonderful times together. You were easy to talk to and was not afraid to disagree with me.  I'll think of you always and cherish our memories.  You were a GREAT friend. #love

Laura my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.  I pray for God's comfort for you all.  Apparently you mom was an awesome person cause she has a daughter like you.  So glad we use to work tougher

So sorry to learn of your passing, Paula. We put our heads together often at 
work to cackle & relieve the awful tension. You had a great sense of humor.
Your work ethic was strong & I appreciated you for a coworker, & a friend.
SO sorry to learn of your passing. Sincerely, Heidi L Bartosch

I'll never forget that beautiful smile and infectious laugh. What a great sense of humor you had too. I will miss you sweet lady.

Ms Paula you were inspiration to single mothers everywhere. You were such a strong woman and mother. You will be missed by so many. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

It was such a pleasure to work with you for many years.  You were a good person with a great soul. I still recall many many conversations we would have. You always tried to look out for others and genuinely cared for others. Your work here on earth may be done but I know you will be watching over us from above. Rest in peace my friend. Much love!

We have lost another friend, my prayers to the family.

Rest in peace Paula. I can still see you in the break room with that box of Popeye's Chicken and a coke lol. They knew you by name and order there you once said. My prayers are with your love one's you left behind.

Paula you always had that sweet smile and made my day when I heard your voice on the radio.  You always looked out for us and knew where we were.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Rest in Peace and Signal C my friend.

Paula was always smiling.  Rest in peace and know you were and are loved.

I had the privilege of knowing you for only a short time, but I enjoyed your company.  I'm so glad we got to speak privately at our last get-together.  Rest in peace, friend, and don't worry about Dan.  Our dispatcher family will take care of him.

Thank you so much for your time. I was always loving you for your hard work. Rest now your work is done here.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We loved you Paula, but GOD loved you more; now take your rest my friend and we will meet again on the other side.

Oh where do I begin ... Our friendship started back when our girls were about 10 Year's old.. your laughter was so contagious and your grin altho evil at times cracked me up!
 We have such amazing memories and we will keep those forever in our hearts. All the late night coffee drinking at the kitchen table plotting out you next adventure.  We Love You Paula And You Will Be So missed..

Sorry you left us so soon Paula. You are a sweet lady. Stand over us all and keep us safe from above.  


Sincerely
Paul Castilo

Good night Paula.
You were a great friend and you will be missed.

Paula will always hold a special place in my heart. I can see her laughing and smiling as she was going down the ramp in the radio room. Paula would laugh and tell me they are talking about you out there. But I told them to be quiet no one can talk about you but me. She would laugh and give me that beautiful smile. Paula that smile was infectious. No matter what had happened that smile brightened a room. Take your rest my friend. No more pain.

You will be missed Paula. I am praying for Dan and the family.

Loved working with Paula, she had a beautiful spirit.

Paula was an awesome lady, love to stand outside 201 and talk to her, she was such a sweet and wonderful person. Rest in peace my friend


                                                               Carol Taylor (Arlington,TN)

You will be missed by so many but your laughter and smile will never be forgotten.

Paula was a wonderful lady.....she and I spent time talking outside 201 on many occasions.  She will truly be missed.  Rest in Peace sweet Paula....

Paula I will miss you so much.  I will treasure your friendship always! We came a long way together helping each other as rookies and watching each others back through the years.  I know the loss the family is feeling and pray God will help them fill the void!  I will never forget you!
