Today final earthly goodbyes will be said to our friend, Paula Bates. We were Blessed to have had Paula join us at the Rte 7 Artisan Fellowship shop, many year’s ago, she volunteered her time and artist talents at the shop, until we closed. She seemed to be in her element, greeting customers, teaching painting classes and also taking art classes 🥰 At yesterday’s visitation, I was introduced to her husband, Tommy, and told him what a joy it was to have had Paula as part of our group and that we couldn’t have stayed open without her volunteer participation. Love and prayers for him, their daughter and entire family.🙏💔🥰😢 Here’s a few photos I found of Paula’s shop time 🥰 May I add, how pleased we were to see the family used one of our photos of Paula attending a snowman gourd painting classes , on her obituary card, it’s a wonderful picture of her ❤️
