    • Paula was such a beautiful person. The Travenol girls were so close and although we moved over time, we never lost the desire to get together. We just didn’t make it in time. Look forward to seeing Paula’s family that she loves so much, and friends at her celebration of life. I’m very thankful Paula loved the Lord. I will see her again! Barbara

  3. I am so sorry to hear of cousin Paula’s passing. She was so kind to call her aunt, my mother, and spent hours talking with her. As believers in Christ, they now have a glorious eternity together being reunited with loved ones.
