You told me not to worry about a thing, that you had me covered, and everything would be fine if I just took care of myself. That immediately informed me of how good of a person you are. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods, and that you enjoy your retirement to the fullest!

You are just wonderful!

And I also want to say thank you! Thank you so much Paula！You made my day at Fort so much eaiser, and I feel so much safer as a foreign teacher. You also helped my husband Carlos so much when he was working there. He wants me to thank you for that! We really love you and appreciate you! You are truely an amazing person.

It has been a pleasure to work with you at Fort Vancouver. You have been one of the brightest spots in my experience there! I always look forward to long trips to the office because I know there is potential to visit with you. Your enthusiasm and positivity is off the charts! Grace is a adverb that comes to mind (when see you serving others). After giving so much of yourself to the district, I hope retirement brings you well-deserved "me-time". I hope to see you again someday. You are a VPS legend!
Love,

Ever since then, I felt such authentic comfort and love from you and towards you, and I always felt like you had my back. I cannot put into words and explain to you how valuable that was to me.
