Paul its been 9 years since you left us. Even though so much has happened, it seems like yesterday. I think because it was so sudden, I didnt get a chance to express my feelings or say I love you...that continues to bother me. I know youre in a better place and no longer in pain, for that Im grateful. Watch over us and especially your grandchildren. You are always with us, especially when we are all together ❤Love & miss you.

Dad,
A year has passed and yet it still does not seem real. I still feel you around me me everyday. I wish I could talk to you and hear your voice. Even if you are just making fun of me or giving me some sarcastic remark. Those are the things I miss the most. I find myself comparing everyone to you and nobody can match up. It is difficult knowing that I have to live the rest of my life without you here. Please never fade away. Stay with me forever.

I love you so much!

Colleen <3

Paul,
I will never forget the day that you called and told me that I was on your soccer team. It was the beginning of a friendship that has blessed me in so many ways. Many of my great childhood/pre-teen moments involve you and your family and we continue to build more memories as the days pass. Words cannot express how much I miss you, but I know you are with all of us in our hearts, and you will be with us forever.
Love you always,
Malorie

Dear Paul,
We cannot even imagine what it must be like for your family to have lost you, but we feel a great loss of a friend, a second father to our daughter, and a great inspiration to so many people whose lives you've touched. You and your family have been a wonderful part of our lives, and we would like to pay tribute to you on this anniversary of your passing. Love you and miss you!

May the Lord be with you all during this time of loss. I did not know Paul well, but I do know how much his girls loved him by the way they spoke of their dad when they were at my home (oh so many years ago).

May the Lord be with you and give you strength and comfort.

This is to the entire Gibson family. I have fond memories of your dad going back to when Matt was in my class. I remember that he was a great coach. I recall that we had a meeting in Mr. Heacock's office that year and that your dad spoke fondly of his love for his children and how he would do whatever it took to help them achieve. Needless to say, I was very impressed!
