I had a dream about your gracious & lovely Mom last night... out of the blue, Paul. So, I picked up the phone to call.... Needless to say, I learned I was not able to reach her. I was greatly saddened to learn of her passing last month... greatly. Your folks were so infinitely kind & generous to me with their hearts & their time for several blessed years. Thank you for allowing them to share their selves with me, a stranger they plucked from the crowds. I miss them both beyond words. My best thoughts go to you & your family, Paul. Thanks for the memories.....

Paul I haven't seen you since high school but I feel your loss just the same. Just like a gardener chooses the most beautiful flower in the whole garden..so does Our Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. Nina

Jed and Paul, Spent many a fun afternoon at your house in Bent Tree playing pac man in the garage! Your mom always fed us well. Haven't seen her In years but she always had a smile and a kind word. Sorry I never went to Vegas with her. She was a heck of a golfer! My condolences to all.

Dear Paul and family,

On behalf of Pete & Judy Schwanz and myself, please accept our condolences on the passing of your mother Jean. My mother Judy shared with me many fond memories of playing many rounds of golf with Jean and as well as recent conversations they had. God bless your family during this time.

Dear Paul,

I am so sorry for your loss. In knowing you, it's clear that Heaven has been enriched.

To the Azinger family, I am very sorry for your loss.Mrs.Azinger was a very special person ,I walked a few rounds with her at Bayhill back when Paul was still on tour and she was always very pleasant to be around. I remember she got Paul to sign a book and some golf balls for my son and that was something he won't ever forget. Carl Redmond Bradenton Florida
