Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Danny, we are stunned to read of Paula’s Homegoing. We absolutely did not know, I saw you in Walmart shopping a couple of days ago…alone. I thought then it was strange not to see Paula by your side. We both hold Paula so dear, and have so many wonderful memories of her and her beautiful soft voice as she sang so many solos at Lynn Gardens Baptist Church. Her rewards are many in Heaven we are sure. We are now praying God will surround you and the family with His Peace during this difficult time…with the marvelous hope and knowledge we will see her again. With all our love, Mannon and Sandy (&Tobi) Lukehart.

  2. Paula was the sweetest person. She was my supervisor at Southern Colorado Clinic. She always listened to you and if you needed help, she would do her best to help you. I remember she loved going to Cripple Creek, and she loved Danny and her kids unconditionally. Bless you Paula and all of your family.

  3. Danny and Family, Paula was a very treasured friend we thought the world of her. So many wonderful memories of her from riding the school bus with her to our chats and emails about our mutual lupus an all the visits in between .
