Today I found notice of the passing of my cousin, Paula Jannyce. Paula was 17 days my senior. I last remember her when my father died. We were 6 years old. Although I did not know her or her family in adult life I wish to extend my condolences for her passing.

Paula was one of my favorite people, and the world will be a little less because of her absence. Prayers for Larry and the whole family, whom I know she loved and adored very, very much.
