I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Ms Paula. Always always smiling and laughing. I did receive a few eye rolls every now and again but it was always in fun. Loved her dearly. She set the bar at work. Always loved running into her out and about shopping. Please accept my sincere condolences to her family and friends on such a great loss. She is missed.
