Dear Paul, how I miss you. I hope you are happy where you are. I don't know what to say here, but the love I feel for you now is deeper today than ever. I also love your family, Brenda, Tara, Heather and Laura, they seem to be doing okay. I hope so. This probably sounds nerdy, but I had to say something about how I feel. All my love and pray for me.

Brenda and family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Paul was quite a character. I can remember funny times from when we were kids. At one time his favorite word was "hyperbole". He will be missed by all who knew him.

Love, Kathy & Bob Shaw, Leanne & Mark Smith and Ann Francis
