Dear Virginia, Lisa, Tim and Family of Paul,
Thank you for sharing Paul's legacy. May you all continue to be blessed with courage and strength.

A tree will be planted this month on "The Island" in his memory and will be well nurtured and grow to provide sanctuary for the birds and butterflies Paul so loved.

To Ginger, Tim, and Lisa,

Mom and I have always admired Paul's intellect, his love of nature, and important issues concerning ecology. We have always looked upon Paul as a loving, caring, human being. Ginger, mom and I have always admired your loving support and devotion to Paul with his disability after his cardiac event. Roseann and I were very grateful that we were able to see you and Paul back early February this year. Your loving cousins, Dennis and Roseann and Aunt Margaret

We have been thinking of you and hoping you are finding comfort in the memories and good thoughts of all who knew Paul. I remember him walking home past our house so many times!
