Paula was one of my first friends in Missouri. She cut my hair for years. She and Jake loved across the street from my parents. She was always wonderful to them. Paula and Jake were friends with my Brother, and very kind to me when I lost him. Sge was a wonderful person. I know she is with our Lord.
You are in my thoughts Jake.

It was a great privilege to know Paula, she always had time to fit me in for a haircut every time I was able to make it back. She was truly a wonderful soul with a heart of gold. My thoughts and prayers are with her entire family and all her friends, I know she will be missed beyond measures.

To Jake & Families,
I am so saddened to read of this sweet ladies passing, and I must chime the way others feel a loss of such a very sweeyt and good hearted lady. I started going to her not too long after she got on out of school and we hit it off, she always had good things to share that were up lifting every time you were in her chair. She was always a sweet lady and thrilled to see to you and visit with you anytime .
