My condolences to all Paula’s family and friends. She was a beautiful soul. I’d see her at the convenience store on Willett Ave all the time. She was my Riverside Jr. High school friend but then we lost contact. She’d always say she had the pic of her and I at the school field and was gonna send it to me but never got it. Fly high w/ the angels Paula…gone too soon. 🙏💔🙏
