I'm so sorry for your loss, and I want you to know how special Uncle Paul was to me and all of our family. I remember his smile and the twinkle he always had in his eye. He was such a special person, and he will be truly missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Longtime Christian friends are always special - we'll continue to remember the family in this time of loss but also the ultimate celebration for a new life granted by our Saviour.

May God minister to each of you through Christian kindnesses during this time of loss. Mr. Rowe will be remembered for his quiet strength and integrity with which he lived his life.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Very sorry for your loss.
Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
