It is with much sadness I read of Paula's passing, a friend of many years, meandering way back to the 1960s when we were so young in heart and spirit. It was back then that I introduced Paula to Dan Havers, a close friend; we know how that worked out = three boys who managed to keep mom/dad and grandparents very "occupied." Paula, was a devoted wife and mother, ran a tight ship at home, was assiduous and dedicated to her employer of 38 years, and a loving sister to her three siblings. When she lost Dan (he was 40 yrs. old) she was a train wreck but she held it together making sure her sons remained well grounded, loved and responsible. My heart felt condolences to JP, Daniel and Rodney who I've known since their "arrivals" and to their children for the loss of their grandmother. Be resolute, be strong and be assured that Paula resides with her Savior. Love, "Uncle" Mike
