To Patsy and all the Harran Family,
My heart breaks for all of you. I remember Paul as the little tow head when I came to your house as a teenager. Do know that I pray for all of you in this time of sorrow and grief. If you need an ear to listen, please know I will be there. Living so far away in Columbus, Ohio makes it hard,but know I wish I was there to help you.
