I am a teacher at Schuylkill Haven EC. I had the privilege of having Paul as a first grade student while I was student teaching. Paul is a student that I will never forget. He knew how to brighten anyone’s day with his smile. From time to time I recall stories of Paul to brighten my day. That’s the type of kid he was and I know he will be greatly missed. My prayers are with you.

I am the secretary at Schuylkill Haven Elementary Center and I have known Paul since kindergarten. He was a kind and gentle soul. He was well known and loved by the staff. It was a very somber day on Wednesday when we heard the news - many tears have been shed over this sweet boy. I pray that God will watch over his mother and extended family as they must endure this loss. God Bless You dear one.

I will remember Paul fondly. From the shy smiles he would give in kindergarten through the hellos he would give me in the hallway as he grew up, Paul was always such a nice boy. My prayers are with you.

Our deepest sympathies are with you at this difficult time. Words fail to express our feelings for your loss. Our family has many fond memories of Paul being at our place and he had become a very dear boy to us. He is missed. Life doesn't seem right without Paul calling or coming over. The memories will sweetly linger... We like to think of him "safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast..." and look forward to seeing him there someday. Our thoughts and prayers remain with you as you grieve this loss.
Love,
The Swartzentruber Family.

Into the arms of a loving Heavenly Father my dear nephew Paul has gone. To go home too soon for us is sorrow we must bear until a day we will see him again in God's Kingdom - to all who truly believe. His happy smile and beautiful blue eyes brought such joy to my heart each time I would see him on the mountain he called home. To his mom, Faith my sympathy and prayers are contiual for you as you endure this tremendous loss. Aunt Cindy & Uncle Paul

Dear Yerger Family,
My deepest sympathies are with you at this time.
It was with sad disbelief that I read about Paul's passing. Paul is a child who came to this planet to touch hearts. And he definitely touched mine. Up until this past year I provided occupational therapy services in Schuylkill Haven Elementary and I had the pleasure to get to know Paul as a one of the sweetest and most sensitive students. He always said hello and always offered to help, and his heart filled a room.
I will ALWAYS remember you, Paul... Godspeed.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it is to lose a child. No one should ever have to go thru that kind of loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in your time of sorror. God will watch over your son and keep in his care. I guess he wanted his Dad to have company.
