I worked with Paula at Dr.Baquiran’s office in Hewitt ,New Jersey for several years. She was an amazing woman, full of life, and always willing to lend a helping hand.
I enjoyed our daily conversations mostly regarding, family, politics, food, etc.
She made going to work a pleasure!
Paula loved her family immensely and took great pride in their successes.
May she Rest In Peace.

This special lady was the reason I made it through college without getting into too much trouble. Working for her was never work. It was a joy for me showing up every day to spend time with my college mom, dad, and two crazing fun “brothers”. This family epitomizes what being American is all about and I learned so much from them all, especially Paula. I leaned on her in so many ways and she always supported me no matter what. I will always remember her laugh, her smile, her persistence and spunk. There may not be any more plenty ones but you are now with the one you love the most. I’ll come visit you and Warren at the beach very soon. 💙🥯💚

Paula and I shared many happy moments. We enjoyed good food and a great Merlot. She loved her family more than life itself. Her love for her beloved husband was evident every time he came up in conversation. I wish I could have met him. I’m sure we too would have been great friends! Her love for God and politics were the things that brought us to be great friends. Paula was a Patriot and that can not be denied. I will miss you dearly my friend but am thankful you and Warren and walking hand in hand and praising God. Love you Sis! Godspeed! See you soon!
