Faye~ I am so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. Although it's been several years, I have such fond memories of you both. Ihope you'll find comfort in the knowledge of how greatly Paul will be missed, how wonderful his presence in our life has been. While thoughts of his passing bring tears to the eye, the memories of his larger than life smile, his many kindnesses, and his love for you, will bring a smile!

Faye,

God brought Paul into my life 6 years ago so knowing how much I will miss him I can imagine how you are feeling and I am sorry for all of our loss. I am sad, but I am actually at peace because also knowing what pain he was going through it is nice to know that he can rest now and be free of the pain. Only just a few years older than me he taught me so much. Yes he will be missed but I am going to focus on what he brought into my life. I am so grateful to have known him and to have been blessed with so many wonderful memories. If you need anything please call. David

I had the pleasure of working with Paul for 30+ years. But for the last year, he sat in an office right next to me. I got to know Paul better and watch him face his battle with cancer so couragiously. I am a better person for knowing him. Always kind. Always concerned for others. There will always be a space in my heart for this special friend. Faye. I will be praying for you and know that through the toughest times, God will be there for you. Love, Cathy
