To those of Paul's family, whom he loved so much;

My words cannot begin to convey the deepest sympahties that I have for you, any more than I can truly percieve your sense of loss that is felt with someone like Paul now departed.

I will always remember Paul, as I knew him, with a twinkling eye, an attentive ear and a sympathetic heart. God blesses our lives with a sprinkling of some very special people. I shall miss our chats, and the occasional warm pipes that we shared on cool evenings.

Perhaps the Lord needs a few moments of mirth now and then, and decided that Paul was just the person to bring a laugh or two.

For now, the laughs and all the fond memories will live on with those that he enjoyed them with.

I do look forward to seeing him again; blueberry cornbread, cool lemonade, a new unburdened twinkling smile and spending some more time sharing about "the simple things that make the difference." - and that is a most comforting thought...

God Bless You All
