To the Novak Family.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Paula. I worked with her at NWM while she was a teacher. She touched the lives of many students and she was a great co-worker.

I wish you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Nancy Brandes

I’m very sad to hear the news of Paula’s unexpected passing. My heartfelt condolences. I was Paul’s roommate in Wheaton when he started dating Paula and was at their wedding. I moved away shortly afterward, but came to visit from time to time. I remember Paula as an amazingly kind and cheerful person. Even when her Vega got hit by another car while I was borrowing it! PD

What a beautiful, heartfelt remembrance of Paula. Thank you for capturing her so well as we bring our hearts close to her and to all loved ones mourning her passing. I can hear her laugh, picture the brightness in her eyes as she talked about her family, recall her sincere interest in me and my bunch every time we gathered around the Novak table at 1702. I lift up Paul, with whom Paula created a remarkable and kind family, and who now misses her so. May our support as a clan for you, your children, and grandchildren ease your heartache and return your joy. See you all again as soon as life allows . . . All my love, Cousin Clare Novak

I am so sorry for your loss.
I will always remember Paula as my fun summertime cousin.
As children we spent many summers together at her home in Dixon.
Even though we grew apart over the years,
Paula will live on in my heart and memory forever.

Paula was always a forthwith person. She had a genuine way when you needed a correction. Which often caught my silly ways. Paula also shared a wonderful sense of humor I will always remember her that way. Puh, Puhla

My Aunt Paula was one of the most selfless people l have ever known.Paula was always sincerely interested in what you where doing, how the kids were, and one of the best listeners on the planet!She was always teased in a loving way about how much she worried about EVERYONE(and the weather forecast)I heard a lot of “Oh God whatever you do don’t tell Mom”But that was part of what made Paula a beautiful person ,her constant loving concern for others.I loved her so much, and will always miss her, can’t believe she is gone ,my heart is breaking.

Paula and I met in 7th grade; I stayed in touch every year by sending her a birthday card; but, after my wedding we drifted apart with responsibilities of teaching (student taught together in South Holland) and family. We took a camping trip in high school to my mother's Ohio Valley area to visit cousins where she met my grandmother. Although the years have widened our paths, she was a good friend and I send my condolences to Faye, Jill, and Paul (junior) for the loss of their beloved mother also to Paul for the loss of his "soul mate" for their many years together.

I’m shocked and so sad about this news of Paula. We met during the days when our children were very little. We formed a play group which went on for several years. What a sweet, caring person she was. I’m so very sorry for her loss to you kids—Faye, Paul, and Jill. I remember when Jill was born and we grieved the loss of Edward. My heart still breaks for her.💔

I worked with Paula at BHS as a tutor for the last 3 years. I just called today and was surprised she did not answer, as she always has since she retired. I wanted to catch her up on what was happening and find out how her holidays were. She was the most kind, supportive and caring person. We spent so much time sharing photos of our grandkids and we always talked about how proud we were of our children. To her family was EVERYTHING. We shared many laughs along the way and she was such a wonder with the kids in the program. She was a wonderful friend and I will miss her dearly. Rest In Peace, my friend and I hope your family knows just how special you were and how many lives you touched.

Paula and I worked together at Greenbrook school in the special education department. She served the third graders and I inherited them from her in fourth grade. Such a lovely lady with a quick friendly smile and a great laugh! She was always ready to share a warm hug with her students and such a positive force for them. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
