CLARINA AND FAMILY,

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT PAUL. DAD (MERLIN) JUST CALLED AND TOLD US THE NEWS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN I WOULD HAVE CAME TO THE FUNERAL. MY MEMORIES OF YOU GUYS ARE ALL FROM WHEN I WAS JUST A LITTLE GIRL. WHEN YOU ALL WOULD GET TOGETHER AT GRANDMA AND GRANDPA BROWNS HOUSE AND PLAY CARDS OR GO HUNTING OR FISHING.
I RAN INTO PAUL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AT REAMS AND OF COURSE HE MADE A SMART COMMENT TO ME ABOUT BEING "JUST LIKE A BROWN" TEASING ME ABOUT A "BEVERAGE" I WAS ABOUT TO PURCHASE. HE WAS ALWAYS TEASING US GIRLS.

I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOMETIME SOON.

LOVE,
AMANDA SHILL (BROWN)

Clarina and Kids, I am so sorry about Paul, I know we haven't been intouch for years but I always think about you. We had some wowee times together in the past and I'll always charish them. Paul always gave me a bad time but I'd thought he didn't like me if he were diffrent ,he cracked me up all the time. Our Kids grewup together and we always had so much fun, remember the card games? What a blast they were. I could go on and on about the crazy times, just know that you are all in my thoughts and heart. Love You and miss you. Monika

Good ol' Pauly Wauly, was a very gentle and caring man. Never would he pass you without asking how the kids and family are, oh yea and the "SHEEP". We always liked to talk "MUTTON" and how good it was.
He will be missed!!! May he walk in the beauty way with those who passed before him and in the memories of those left behind. I believe there is no death just a change of worlds. My prayers and condolences are with the family and friends left behind.
