"I am so sorry to hear about your loss and I wanted to share a scripture that'll bring you encouragement and hope at Revelations 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." This is definitely something we all look forward to, when we will see our loved ones again. "

"Paula had such a cheerful smile. I cannot imagine going into Iowa-Nebraska State Bank and not seeing her at the desk she worked at for many years. We worked together and shared many stories and laughter during our coffee breaks. She was a wonderful person and will be missed by many.
