Avalos Family,

To the family of Paul Eugene Avalos,
My condolences to you. During difficult times like these it is wise to draw comfort from God's word, the Bible. For example, Eccleisastes 9 verse 5 and Johhn 11 verse 11, and 5 verse 28 and 29, assure us that Paul and other loved ones of ours that have passed on are peacefully awaiting their return to this earth, and us. I will keep you in my prayers.

Please accept my condolences. I knew Paul from our District Social Science meetings. His presence always added much to the meetings, and I remember political efficacy as being a favorite phrase of his. Whenever I hear it, I hear it I always remember him. May his memory be eternal

Dear Avalos Family,
Mr. Avalos was one of my son's teachers for a couple of subjects at Castle Park. Paul encouraged my son and all his other students to strive to be the best they could be. He encouraged them to speak their minds (respectfully) when fighting for something they believed in. His memory will live on in all the students/athletes whose lives he touched. RIP Paul.

To the Avalos Family,
May your memories bring you peace now and smiles always. Mr. Avalos was one of my favorite teachers ever. I loved going to History everyday in Junior High. He had such a wonderful smile and LOVED his job. We lost a very good man but heaven really lucked out.

Paul was in the 8th grade when I began teaching at Granger. Years later we were teaching colleagues at Castle Park Middle School. I really missed him when he moved to Castle Park High. He was extremely intelligent and a wonderful, caring teacher. I am fortunate to have known him and very
saddened for your loss. May God comfort you at this sad time.
