Paul, my childhood friend from Northwood M.S.. I am devastated to learn of your passing. Throughout the years, you would cross my mind. Ive attempted contact with you through former classmates, but was unsuccessful. Ive always wanted to thank you for being a True Friend to me. Laidback, funny, and kind you were. My prayers to your loved ones. You will always have a special place in my heart. With much love, Candyce.
