I was sorry and sad when I saw the loss of Paul at the memorial at the nursing home. He will be miss and is. My sincere wishes that his family is surrounded in love and light. Bill does not realize his loss as much as I. I miss him. I know if Bill could, he would send his wishes, too. I will remember Paul always as a wonderful man to talk to at the table in the nursing home. Blessings to your family. The Owens of Newark, N.Y.
