No person or experience will ever replace the happy days and love Brother Paul gave you. But we hope it will be of some comfort to know that you gave him all the love and care possible to the very end.
There is a lonesomeness after the death of a love one, but we want you to know that your friends, his friends, and family are thinking of you, and sympathizing with you in this time of your great loss.
