When I think of Paula what comes to mind is" Salt of the earth ".. Her devotion to Gary and all of their family was beyond measure !! Such a hard-working person . Her beautiful yard was really something to behold. And let's never forget her FuNNy sense of humor and her saying "Oh My Hell "......My heart goes out to all of the Aagard family at this sad time.

I will always remember Paula as a kind and loving person , she always thought of her family first. and she was a hard worker, since Trudie was the last to leave home, she was always helping her in a project and I will never forget the day we gave the sheep a bath for the stock show, she was a blast and yes her favorite saying was "Oh, my Hell" My heart goes out to Gary and the family, she will truly be missed.
