Shirley,
I'm so glad that we were able to talk to Paul in the few days before he went home since we weren't able to see him in person. He's having his own reunion in heaven while we look forward to getting together in Tucson and he'll be with us in spirit. We miss him. Hopefully we will be of some comfort to you when we come out there.
Love,
Julie and Jack

Aunt Shirley: I want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Uncle Paul meant so much to me!! His smile always made me feel warm Inside when I saw him. He was an incredible man and I was always proud to have him for an Uncle. No matter how long it had been since I had seen him, he always gave me the biggest hug. I wish I could have one more hug and see him smile one more time!!! I WILL see him again one day in heaven and I look forward to getting both from him!!! I will be praying for you and your children as you go through this time....may God give you all comfort!! LOVE, Renee Highfill Helsel
