She is beautiful and is missed. She always made me feel like one of the family and always welcomed me. One of the sweetest people I have ever known.

I only met "Paula",(I never called her that), 2 or 3 times but absolutely loved the way she presented herself,and showed her adoration for YOU Tamely....I didn't know Cindy that well, but she was there also, in the blue house on Geneva(?). If my OLD memory serves me right, your Grandpa was living there at the time. We went to your room upstairs and talked about the songs we were writing and the boys that we thought were cute and cool!!!. Your Mom offered me something to drink, and pleasant conversation. I met her again when she lived in the house on Oxford. I was pregnant at the time with my son and can't remember HOW I knew, but knew that house was connected to YOU Tamely....Again, she spoke to me with SUCH kindness and care. I don't know if she remembered me but she acted as if she did. I'm sorry that you lost her at the time that you did, but you have my ENVY that you had such a cool and sweet Mother....Love and Prayers to you ALL!!!
