I had a crush on Paula as a freshman at New Bedford High. I can still remember her face. She was my first experience losing someone I cared about. She never knew.Since then I've lost many people I cared about. Some knew. Some didn't. Make sure that, if you care, let them know you care.
I recognize the name Ziemba.
Did Paula have a brother?
It would be so neat to go back into the NBHS yearbooks and take a digital photo of the student's (photo) that have passed away and post them herein as a tribute.
We were in 9th grade when Paula passed. It was only the second time in my life when a contemporary died. I remember going to the funeral with friends and feeling grief. I'd been to other funerals of older persons but this was different. She was a very nice person that always had a moment for anyone.
RIP
