Dear Mrs Sampson & Cheryl: My deepest sympathy on your loss of Paul. There are so many things I remember about Paul when we were teenagers and he was the "little brother". Then all of a sudden he was all grown up and became such a nice young man. May your memories help you through this most difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

A wonderful man and very trusted friend. I have nothing but good memories and kind words for him.

Paul's genuine smile was only one of many ways he brought happiness to others.
