Oh, Paula - I'm so deeply sorry to learn you are gone. Every year, you always sent Christmas cards and stayed in touch - and, I always got back to you on the phone months later - and, we would always laugh at how shameful I was.
I owe you and your mom such a debt of gratitude for being there for me so long ago when I was having such difficulty during the early '70s. Nobody else was there like both of you were - so sincere and heartfelt - and I've never forgotten.
And, when we talked on the phone, I could talk with you about David; I still miss him so much. Today is Veteran's Day and I called to see how you are, what you're doing and reminisce about old times with David - but this time there was no answer - and, you're gone.
Your mom and you and David had so much heart...I hope you understood how very much I felt that way...
I miss David, I miss your mom...and, I miss you, Paula - and our phone conversations - and your notes and good wishes at Christmas.
You never forgot me...
God bless and keep your mom and David.
And, God bless you, Paula...thank you so very, very much for being there for me.
God bless you for being you...
God bless you and keep you, Paula...God bless you and keep you...
