Thoughts from Paula's children: Ben- My mom was the smartest person I know, if I ever needed help she was the first person I would go to.
Elizabeth- My mother was the most selfless, kindhearted woman. She was known to be the rock of the family, always having the answers and kind words to solve and problem . Mom was the person everyone went to in times of need, discomfort and struggle. She was always thinking of others and supporting them in any way she could. Mom loved hummingbirds, she always had their sugar water ready, along with the flowers they liked. Her favorite color was red, and loved Downton Abbey. My mom taught me how to be patient, kind and empathetic.
Karen- My step-mother was an incredible woman, she was patient in all the ways that counted. She held my father to account and loved all of us as if we were her own. As a step-mother myself, I often called her for advice and support. I wish I could be more like her in her selfless devotion to our blended family. She was so strong in her values and persistent in her pursuits and I loved her very much.
