Paul Thomas Bearden

For Paul: My special friend for 24 years. Thanks for the many things you taught me, always encourging me, and making me laugh (usually at inappropriate times). We shared many things:our children growing up, you becoming a grandparent, and me completing grad school. You painted my life with your mere presence. As usual may have left without saying goodbye, yet I still know where to find you: in my heart. Here's to it and to it again...you old pirate.

To Paul, You will be so missed by all who knew you, but your memory and the wonderful memories you have left for us will live on. You were a wonderful friend, and a shoulder to lean on.
Paul, You left us much to soon, but arrived in Heaven right on time.
All my love to your family, they were so lucky to have had you.

Our thoughts are with you, Nida and Paul's family. Our deepest sorrow for your loss. Know that we love you, Nida.... we will always be here for you.

Nida, I didn't know Paul but I know if you loved him, he was a very lucky man. Please know that your friends from SF offer our deepest sympathy. We love you. Betty Gunnin

My sincere condolences to the Bearden family. Although I did not know Paul well, I knew him through Nida's love for him. My thoughts and prayers have and will be with you!

To our Families and Friends all over the world~ Thank you "all" for your prayers, your love and your support. Your kindness will always be remembered.
Take care and God Bless!

On behalf of my entire family we thank you for your support and prayers. We will all miss Paul (our dad, brother, soul mate, son, and friend.) We will keep his memories and stories close to our hearts. We will live on just as he wanted- being bold, pushing the envelope, and taking chances. Most importantly, we must take time out of our very busy days to love, smell the roses, look at the stars and, of course, slow down long enough to realize “What a Wonderful World” it is that we live in. God...

FATHER VERY MUCH. WE THREE MET AT
THE OYSTER BAR ALONG WITH MY SON

Just wanted to let ya'll know how much you are loved. I'm here if you need to talk. Love y'all. You're continually in my prayers.
