Eulogy to Paula Jean Replogle Fish
By Penny Replogle Jesus has prepared a place in Heaven for Paula Fish. Only Jesus could
do that for He is the Son of God. But I like to imagine that he has
waited for Paula to get there to help teach the angels how to have true laughter.
Paula always had a special smile and a great sense of humor. She always
had a twinkle in her eye that made the room light up. When you were
in her presence, you knew you were loved.
Many of you knew Paula as friend, or Aunt. You knew a lady who gave
of herself unselfishly. She always had a smile and was so willing to
listen to your story. Many of you knew her as cousin. She loved the joy of
such a big family.
Two of you knew her as daughter. You knew her first. She was your
first born daughter. You know the joy that only a parent can know. Two
of you knew her as daughter-in-law. She is the one your son picked
out to share his life with.
Four of you knew her as sister. John, David, Jim, Amy, I’m
sure you could tell us many stories about Paula. She was the little
sister to two of you, and big sister to the other two. She loved her
family.
Many of you knew her as sister-in-law. You always knew you could count
on her for the support you needed, She was more a sister to us than a sister-in-law.
Three of you knew her as Mom. Chris, Brian, Sarah, Only your knew the very
strong unconditional love that a mother can give. She loved all of
you with the kind of love that your Heavenly Father gives, unconditional- no
questions asked, no answers expected. Just pure love.One of you had
the honor of calling her mother-in-law. Carrie, she was so proud of
you. You were so kind to her and such a good friend. TJ , Josh,
she was honored that you were part of her extended family.
One of you knew her as life partner, best friend, and wife. Rob, your
dedication to Paula was incredible. I personally cannot remember Paula
without Rob. I remember helping her get ready for a dance with you,
a prom with you, and a wedding with you. I remember a vow you made with her,
for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health
. You lived up to that vow. She loved you and the family that you two
created together.
On all of our lives Paula Fish has left a note. A melody that will
play on in memory forever. It is etched in our minds and no one can
ever take that music away. We are so blessed that we will always hear her
voice and see her face. That glorious smile that lit up a room. Also
one Blessed Day we shall be reunited with her in the presence of Jesus Christ-
our Lord and Savior. So, for now “Let not your Hearts be Troubled.” Accept
the peace that Jesus offers you to provide comfort and calm. Paula
Fish is at rest.
Paula believed in God and she believed in Jesus Christ. She was confident
of her place in Heaven. She was not afraid to die because she experienced
the peace that Jesus promised. Paula knows the one who is the way,
the truth, and the life. Paula, through Him has come home to her heavenly
Father, Her Father in Heaven..
Even as we grieve at the end of Paula’s life on Earth- we can and
we will rejoice that Paula has begun her new life in Heaven. She has received
her heavenly crown.
When she went before His throne, he looked at her and said,”Well Done
Thy Good and Faithful Servant. Welcome Home my child.”
