Paul will never be forgotten and will always be missed. Words can not express the pain of losing a loved one in such a tragic event. Not having the chance to say goodbye may be the hardest part. My prayers go out to the family and friends of Paul. The time i did get to spend with Paul I will never forget, playing sports or just hanging. We can truly honor Paul by cherishing those simple, but important kinds of moments with the ones we love.

Dear Mr. Roy, Mrs. Val, Peter and family My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
Even though some lives are short lived
They leave great impressions on us all
Even though physically we cannot see them
There memory will live on
Even when it seems we can’t go on
We live
So that they’ll never be gone (By Danyelle)
God gives us strength and through him I know you all will heal. I love and Miss you
sincerely Danyelle

I will always cherish the memory of seeing Alex, Mike Swiderski, Peter and Paul laughing in the morning as they were getting ready to leave for school. Peter and Paul would be walking down the street towards our house, tall, handsome and smiling. Then they'd fold themselves into the back of the Mustang - two tall guys crammed into the backseat of the 2-door car. Our football stars! Alex would often call me on my cell phone to call the boys in late because they "were stuck in traffic trying to get in the school lot." In reality, they had gone to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast and so were running late. We will miss Paul and his smiling face!

Whaoh! What a life!
You know I just saw Paul 4 days prior. I was at your home, packed beside a car he was about to leave in. I got out of my car and there was Paul walking towards the car with a smile on his face as always. I called him Peter and he made no attempt to correct me (an embarrassment avoided) - that was the kind of kid he was. I said "whaoh, Peter look how big you are now" and he continued smiling. I asked where Paul was ---- and he said "in the car" - still not correcting me. It was only after this grave news and the night of his wake that I realized, I was talking with Paul. If only I knew that it would be the last time I would see him. So many ifs ---- so many wishes---- so many questions---.
To Roy, Valerie, twin brother -Peter, Rashad and the rest of the Iyawe family, I pray that the good gracious lord grants upon you and your entire family the strength to carry on. Some days may be a little better than the other, or worse maybe. But, take comfort and hold strong. Loosing a child is never an easy thing and I feel your pain.
God rest his ever loving soul. Amen.

Valerie
To loose a child is a sadness that cannot be expressed.
Healing will not come in words….
It will come in the quiet hush of early morning…
in the melodic song of the singing birds…
in the sweet aroma of a field of wild flowers…
And as the ancient trees’ leaves continue to rustle, whispering softly;
And the colorful rainbow comes after the thundering storm;
Know that your son is not gone, but close by saying, “We will meet again.”
Love and Prayers to the whole family. Nandi

Thank you Paul for your representation of good things I wish could be brought back just the way they were. My daughter Andrea, FHS alum 2008, who was Senior Class President and Flyer News anchor of Homeroom Headlines, told me how you didn’t hesitate to say just what was needed when she had more than her share of discontent from those who chose to stand out instead of up for her a few years ago. The ability to stand up often goes unnoticed except from those lucky enough to be the benefactors of such heroism.
In honor of your friends and twin who shared with you last may they pay you the highest compliment and have the greatest success in life in your memory. Through them, you will give us many treasures to unfold. I know you didn’t get that way on your own. I thank the Lord for all the love that went into you, from your mom and dad and family from here to the motherland. Your spirit lives on in all those who were touched by the kindness you shared with others. Forever and ever, thank you. Love, Mrs. Eversley and Family

I know your hearts are saddened with the loss of your beloved son and brother. His young life was so short but he was destined to have had a profound impact on all that knew him. My prayers are with you all and I suspect he will shine a star for you as you look to the Heavens.

Dear Valerie,
I cannot express the sadness I feel for you, your husband, your sons and your family. We've talked so much about our children, I almost feel I knew Paul personally, the great son he was and how much you all loved him. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Paul was one of the greatest people ive ever met. He always made everyone smile and never showed a mad face. He made sure that i was always laughing in our past spanish class and because of him i enjoyed them. He is loved by many and trully will be missed. I love you Paul.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

My heart is completely broken for you Valerie, Roy, David, Peter and all of Paul's family and loved ones. I know that there are no words that can even come close to expressing the pain and loss that you feel, and that there are no words or actions to take any of that away. However, I also know that there is HOPE for a future for you all and there is healing in time. It can seem very slow and tedeious at times, but it does come bit by bit. And you will experience it. You are cherished and loved in the hearts of the Kerr family and we will keep you in our prayers. Perhaps Paul and Brian have been reaquainted in heaven and are playing the greatest football game ever, where their team wins of course.
