My dear Clare, I am so greatful having to know Paul, experience his musical gifts and to share his last birthday celebration with you, Deborah and Stew. It is so heart warming to hear he used his passion for jazz to praise God, creator of heaven and earth. With theses gifts, Paul is surely blessed.
