Dear Joan and family
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Paul. I benefited greatly from our business relationship while working at Our Sunday Visitor and Paul was the driving force for promotion of the I Am Special book program.

I was proud to consider him a friend and certainly feel a great sense of sadness on learning of his passing.

May God continue to bless your family.

To the Plum Family,

Mrs. Plum, Mike, and Jean I was so sorry to read of your husband/father's death. I remember him from our time at St. Margaret Mary. Through the Religious series that your family published may you find the peace in dealing with his loss. May God help your family in dealing with his death and moving on as time goes on.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
