Dear Bettie,
I am so saddened to hear of Paul's death. He was such a kind gentle man and such a wonderful servant of our Lord Jesus. My prayers are with you and your family and will continue as I know he will be greatly missed. May Jesus come close that you will know his presence during this time.
In Christ,

Dear Bettie,
We were so sorry to hear of Paul's death. He was a sweet, special man. We so enjoyed getting to know both of you through Walk to Emmaus. Roger and I both have many sweet memories of working teams with both of you.
I was interested to see in the obituary that Paul worked for A&P. My mother and I and two of my brothers all worked for A&P also. My mother retired from there. We probably had some friends in common.
We will keep you and your children in our prayers and we will praise God that He has a new resident in Heaven.
Love in Christ,
Nancy and Roger Jackson

Dear Bettie and family,
It was with the deepest regret that I read of Paul's passing. I had often thought about you two and Miss Jo and Mr. Entrikin. My childhood memories are of a beautiful young blonde girl, the handsome gentleman she married and a sweet, precious baby girl. I'm glad to know that God was good and gave you so many wonderful years together.
