To Paul, Gwen and the Family:
Our hearts, prayers and condolences to all of you.
The words of Lamentations 3:55-57; "I have called out your name, O Jehovah, from a pit of the lowest sort. My voice you must hear. Do not hide you ear to my ...cry for help. You have drawn near in the day that I kept calling you.. YOU said: 'Do not be afraid.'"
"For toward us his loving-kindness has proved mighty; And the trueness of Jehovah is to time indefinite. " (Psalm 117:2)
We hear that you will be back to our circuit soon, may Jehovah bless you and the spirit you show."
Love and support, from all three of us, Circuit 10, Forest Hills Cong

Dear Sandra, Paul Anthony, Denise, Valerie, and Paulette,

My love, thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in rememberance of your DAD, aka Uncle Paul. I really enjoyed the hospitality and warm welcome he always gave us when we visited you all. He was a real uncle and most of all a faithful servant of Jehovah.

It made me proud to know that he took seriously expounding the love for Jehovah to all he knew. He is a wonderful example to follow. It always inspired me to know that there are fathers who take this privilege seriously, and yet not be harsh or overbearing.

My prayers and thoughts will continue in your behalf now and in the future. It is good to have family who share the deep love for Jehovah that you all have.

May Jehovah's peace be with you.

Much Love,
Your Cousin and Sister
Sara Elane Ridley, North Carolina
