Kathy & family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I was shocked when I saw it online. I so enjoyed visiting with you and Paul at Kip's. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how tough it is to go thru and remember how much you helped me. I will see you when we get back home. I wish I could give you a hug right now.
