Charlie & family, so sorry for your loss. I remember you two sat at our table at the Christmas party one year and your wife was very friendly to us. Thinking of you in your time of sorrow.

Message from Carmelita MacPherson-Haltom

My heart is broken my friend. Fly with the Angels, God Speed Paula.

Message from Pam Wilson Okerblom

Dear Erika and Charlie, I am praying continuously for you both. Our family (Wilsons) loved Paula as our own and it is so hard knowing we won't see her smiling face, hear her laugh and talk and receive all the cards she would always send to my mom. She brightened up a room wherever she walked into. She was a joy all the time. We had so much fun with her all our lives so we always had so much to reminisce about. I know how hard it must be right now for you both...losing a wife and a mother....two of the closest relationships we could have in life. Please come and visit my mom and I...it's hard for my mom to travel at her age...if you feel like just getting away and seeing the beautiful Rocky Mountains and having some joyful talk about our beautiful Paula please I pray you will come and visit. us. I think it would help us all. I haven't told my mom yet...I will when I come back after May 12th...but I know it will be very difficult for her. I love you both so very much. You're both daily in my thoughts and heart.

Message from Eva Epps

Charlie, Erika and family, I am so saddened by the loss of Paula. She always had such a loving smile, giving heart and a kind word for everyone. I will miss our lunch times spent sharing good food, friendship and always a package of her wonderful cookies. She is definitely called home too early, but she is now wearing her angelic wings and singing in the Heavenly choir. My prayers for you all.

Message from Debbie Dubovsky

Charlie, Ericka, and Family,
Words cannot express the way my heart hurts for all of you. Paula was one of the most caring, thoughtful, generous and loving people that I have ever had the privilege of knowing and made me feel like a better person because of it. Someone tried to explain to me why God takes these wonderful, beautiful people, what we think of, as way to soon, and they said that it's like when you go to your garden to pick a bouquet of flowers, you only want the most beautiful, fragrant flowers. Well when he took our Paula that's what he got, the most beautiful person (inside and out) to be in heaven with him. I hope it helps to know how many peoples' lives were changed because of her. She was an angel here on earth and now in heaven watching over her family. My family and I will continue to pray for all of you.

Message from Hal Wellford

Charlie and family--Amanda and I are sorry for your loss. Paula was a true light to this world. We are all the better for knowing her . I will always remmeber her infectious smile and kindness. As she would say: Let It Be. Hal Wellford

Charlie and family......I am Arita Wilson's sister. I am deeply sorry for your loss of sweet Paula. My heart is aching for your family. Paula and Lynda spent time at our home back in the 1970's. We picked the girls up in Omaha at the train station and brought them to Lincoln . What a precious gift Paula has been to our entire family. Her gentle and quiet spirit and her kindness was always so evident in her life. I am praying for your family that each day God will give you strength. She will be truly missed.

Charlie and Erika - I am so sorry for your loss. Paula was a beautiful woman, with a heart to match. Pam - I know you have lost a part of your soul. You and Paula were far more than just sisters.

Charlie and Erika,
My heart felt condolences on the passing of Mrs. Paula. What a genuine special lady that knew how to bring smiles to many faces. She was so thoughtful and that was evident by the many cookies she would bake for so many with every cookie being made for that certain person with her own tender loving care. She will certainly be missed and I pray that God will bless you during this difficult time.
Love you guys,
