As a teen-ager, Paula was one of my best friends, and I fondly recall the many fun times I had with her family. I remember Mrs. Boland's gentle ways and ready smile – what a sweetheart! Mr. Boland, Kristy and Sharon – my thoughts and prayers are with you. Please take comfort knowing that she and Paula will always be with you in spirit and are your angels on the other side.

Florence, We were cousins and as kids we had so many laughs and fun times on the old farm. You and Warren will be together with your Mom and Dad now and I'm sure there will be a celebration. You will be missed by so many.
