So very sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of working for Paul when I was just out of high school. I loved his sense of humor. I am so grateful we kept in touch throughout the years. He was an inspiration to me and I learned so much from working for him. May God Bless you in your time of sorrow.

Mrs. Z, Martin & Bob,
So sorry for your loss. I have lots of great memories of Mr. Z. There were always lots of laughs when he got together with my parents. He was such a great story teller!

So sorry to read about the loss of your loved one. God cares so deeply about us that he has gone to great lengths to make the fulfillment of his purpose a certainty. (John 3:16). One of his promises is no more death. Another of his promises is that those in his memory will be brought back to life. May these facts bring you some comfort.
