Mrs. Kisner and family,
I don't have words to express the feelings I have on hearing of your loss. Coach taught me and my fellow teammates so much our freshman year playing football for RHAM High School that we not only carried all 4 years at RHAM but, I know I will carry for the rest of my life. He gave the 13 of us not only the skills and values to be successful on the field but also off the field. We will always be, as he called us, "His boys" Coach will be forever in my heart, thoughts and prayers. He will be greatly missed and I am honored to have had him in my life.

Paul you were and always will be the love of my life. What we shared as a husband and wife, mother and father and now grandparents was so special. You were my rock. You completed me and i completed you. You have made me into the woman i am today. It hurts so much to know that i will never be able to talk to you again , see your beautiful smile and just hold your hand. I do know in my heart that we will be together again for eternity some day but that is so far away. Please help me through this just as you always did when we had to face adversities in our life.i love you so
