Not sure what to say?

Paul was a wonderful human being. One of the best guys out there. I cant think of a single person that would have a bad thing to say about him. Class act all the way.

Thoughts and prayers for the friends and family. May your sadness be replaced by healing..

who knows what kind of reality the soul occupies,
and where it goes when the body ceases to function?
it has been my experience that all things follow patterns
miracles happen through the consistency of nature
I choose to believe that this same principle carries on beyond this reality that life is unending,
but ever changing...

To the family of Paul Etter, you have my Sincere Sympathy! May God Bless You !

We are crying with you over the recent events and loss of Paul/ your Dad. May you feel Gods presence and help as you travel the journey to healing through which He will make you whole.
You are in our prayers.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. Thoughts and prayers for Pauls children and all who loved him. God bless you all.

My thoughts go out to family at this difficult time. Chris, especially, I think of you often and hope you are well. - (Gail Schrader)

My prayers are with all of you. I've know the Etter family 40+ years and this really saddens me. Paul was a really kind and caring man. I don't understand any of this horrible event. I'm so sorry for your pain and loss. Again prayers for your families.

Elizabeth and kids please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
