Paula, former IVPA entered Chapter Grand today. She had been diagnosed with cancer just after her term ended at last Convention. Being from Tampa, she was so excited that Convention was being held there. I am so sad that she won't realize the dream of going to Convention in her home town.

She was a wonderful woman, warm and intelligent, kind and practical. She had an infectious laugh. She will be missed.

May she be surrounded by sisters in her new life in Chapter Grand.
