Paula, you came into my life when I needed a real friend! I Loved you Dearly instantly! I Cherished you & will miss you always and you will be in my Heart Forever! This World Will never be the same w/o you! I know you were the Best Mother, Wife & Friend. I look at your pictures and I can see the Love & how Happy you were! Don't forget to Save me a place in Heaven beside you so we can catch up and talk again as long as we want! I remember asking you to go to Starbucks and have a cup of coffee after Bible study! We had fun sat outside on the patio. Then you called me the next morning around 10 am. & asked me did you get any sleep last night! I started Laughing because I had just started drinking coffee! Anyway, you said that you finally fell asleep at 5 & I said not me I went to sleep @ 7! We both Laughed at each other! I loved it when we would get out our Bibles and have many discussions on the phone about some verses and you would say when we were not getting itt, you would say I'm asking Dale and I said good call me back and tell me what he said!!! I Loved you! I know you were a True Lady & Friend and a "Lady always knows when to leave!" We talked about that scene in " Fried Green Tomatoes". I know you were so Loved by everyone that knew you! I'm not going to say Goodnight, because I will see you again in Heaven! I'm thinking of the song "Memories" it's so Strong right now! I will be watching for signs of you!

So sorry to hear of this sad news. I met Paula years ago and our connection was through horses. She was a very kind person who I always enjoyed being around. Many prayers to the family during this difficult time. She will be missed by many.

My heart is broken! Paula was a lady that I never saw often but when I did I enjoyed our time together immensely! Somehow she made an impact on me! We just "clicked"! I loved her very mich though knew her so little! She was an " earthy" " real" and " touching" person! The last time I saw her we sat for two hours in her back porch and just had a real nice visit! My life has been enriched he'd by knowing this beautiful person! I am so sad for her loved ones... but her suffering is over! I will see her again and we will sit and have another long visit... I love you Susan!
