When Paula was a young girl, she was at our house so much of the time. She was like another child of mine. My daughter's, Robin and Kim were like younger sisters of Paula's. The girls spent hours and hours with the horses. Sadly over the years we lost that close contact with Paula. I have so many fond memories of Paula. Her infectious smile, humor and love of animals will always be remembered and missed by my entire family.
