Paula Remembered
From Dyan Humphrey
It's a very sad farewell to my beautiful friend Paula. We met way back in 1971 when we worked together on check in at LGW and we remained in touch for the next 50 years. Paula was a very special, elegant lady and had a wicked sense of humour. She was also a very loyal friend. Over the years' Paula suffered some setbacks especially with her health but she always remained positive and cheerful. I am going to miss her.
