I met Paula when she started dating my brother Patrick Van Sciver, when we were in our "teens". She married my brother shortly after meeting. My brother joined the army soon after their marriage. Paula and I continued to have good times until my brother was stationed in Germany and decided to take my friend with him. I was so excited when they moved back to Colorado. The good times continued! I have so many fond memories of Paula. She always made herself available to assist with moving any member of the family to a new home. Believe me this moving happened ALL the time. She never complained about the hard, boring, and tiring work of moving, like the rest of the family did. We spent so much time together when we were young. We shopped, took kids on outings, camped, and she was always there for me when I had other "issues". We also argued and disagreed like sisters will. She was a great friend and sister in law. I miss her!

Paula was a true friend with a kind heart and a beautiful soul. Paula always had little ways of making you smile and feel good about yourself. I will miss her greatly and Walgreens will never feel the same without her.
Love you Paula!!
