From: Paul and Ann Ratterman
Doc, Beverly, Teresa, Donna and Diana, our hearts break for all of you in losing your wonderful Mom so quickly. She has become a "real" friend to us. Her beautiful smile and warm spirit will be sorely missed every Lord's Day morning. Now she and Don can spend time with the other saints and with our Lord as they wait for all of us to catch up. We know she was a twinkle in our Lord's eye, and now she is in Paradise. Praise the Lord! Bro. Paul and Ann

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've known Paula for several years. We would run into each other at Jay C or Walmart and catch up on each other's life. She was a sweet lady with a wonderful smile and a love for family. I pray GOD grant you peace until you see her again.

Paula was a beautiful lady in so many ways. Her heart was beautiful. I know her family hearts are heavy. Please hold onto your memories.
From: Bobby Bowling
As one of many first cousins Paula and I were friends, we did not see each other often after I went in to the USAF, would meet at the Bowling family gathering each year, and Rachel and I will miss her smiling face.
