Nice... what did Paula die from?? I do recall it was a few years ago... I can see Paula in each of her children.. nice looking.
ReplyDeleteSadly, Paula lost her battle to an aggressive form of breast cancer about 12 years ago.

Please let Paula's children know that Paula was well liked and respected by all of her classmates. Not only was Paula smarter than the rest of us, but she was also one of the people that we all wanted to be around because of her personality and how much fun we had when we were spending time with her. If any of Paula's children would like to hear some great stories about her please post their information and I would love to tell them things about her from her fellow student's perspective.
ReplyDeleteI was one of Paula's roomates in college and we both ended up at our first jobs in IBM, Houston. She was a wonderful friend and I too have many fond memories, including a trip to Sidney at Octoberfest!! I'll never forget dancing the polka with her Dad. If you kids would like to hear more please 'friend' me on facebook. I'm Roxanne Skeene in Trinidad.
