Paul was a kind and gentle soul who had a warm heart and a wide smile. The old Irish blessing seems to say what many people feel about Paul as he finds his new home in heaven.

“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”

I would like to add my thoughts and prayers in memory of Paul. I've known him since I was in 4th grade and always thought he was a great guy - lots of fun. I know it is good he is no longer suffering, but I also recognize the gut-wrenching sting of his loss will be felt for a long time. Know he will be missed by many people!

Sincerely,

Colleen (Hickson) Wilkins
