God's way of telling the world to enjoy each other, never miss a chance to say a kind Hello and rememeber those who remember us. Paul will always be an example to me/us to remember as he always did. May God touch your lonesome heart with his great healing power and remind me of his glorious kingdom where Paul is and will again greet us with his welcoming smile someday...
