Paula was a mentor to me. I have countless wonderful memories of time spent at her house-meals, pool time, coffee& conversation.. wonderful memories worshiping together (beautiful voice!) She helped me be a mom when mine was so far away. There is a piece of advice she gave that really shaped how I mothered. My daughter (about 3 or 4 yr old) always wanted me to run her face so she could go to sleep. I had her brother 13 months older (fighting illness) & was pregnant! I thought I deserved a break! Paula reached over and laid her hand on mine and said, “You have a face to rub, rub her face. This time won’t last long. Enjoy it. “ So I did. And tried to employ that philosophy to the best of my ability through all 5 of my (now grown) children. 

You will be missed! And I look forward to catching up in heaven!
