Aunt Janet, Donna & kids, Paul's brothers and sisters; It hurts me soo bad that you are going thru the holidays so sadly, and not just this year, but the many years to come. Is Paul and Uncle Andy
smiling down on you? I think you can say yes, because you are all safe from harm's way. I think of all of you often, and love you all very much. It's so hard to say, life goes on when you lose such a loved one!! We just live day by day, that's all. I hope to see you all soon, in happier times maybe.
Bye for now, Always in my thoughts!

TO ALL - THANK YOU!!!
I want to thank everybody for thinking of our SON and BROTHER!!! Words can not say the thoughts in our hearts and we hope that you keep his memory alive. I can not use enough words to express the love and admiration that our family has for Paul and those of you who have kept our special loved one in your prayers and thoughts. You remembering him and us validates all of the lessons Mamma Belen and especially Daddy J. - and I know this because our dad Andy Murillo instilled the family love in me everyday. Thank you all for remembering our loss, and please, please continue to feel free to express yourself on behalf of our brother whenever you feel the need. Thank you and love you all -

To Aunt Janet: I just want you to know that I am thinking about you and Donna and the kids. I'm thinking about all of my cousins during this upcoming Holiday season. I know life isn't fair, but I do keep all of you in my prayers, I pray for your health and safety.

Also, I wanted you to know that Dave and I have an addition to our family. We have a son, and he is named Paul David Jr. He was born August 6th 2006 at 10:19pm. I call him Paulie, and I am so proud that we have another Paul in the family. I definately will show him pictures of Paul Jesus when he gets older, and let him know how proud we ALL were of him. I love you all, and wish you peace this coming Holiday season.

Love,

Graciela Belen Hernandez-Estepp, and Paul David Sr, and Paul David Jr.

It's hard to believe that a year has almost past since we lost you. Paul, I love you so much and miss you even more. I know that this has been hard on mom and really hard on Desirae. Sometimes we forget that death is part of life and I pray that they and your family can face this time alittle stronger. Your sister, Diane

Paul,

It has taken me time to take in the loss of our Dad and there isn't a day that doesn't go by that my heart hasn't hurt since he left us, but now my heart will never ever be the same without you, bro. I hurt every day without you and Dad, and so does your family and friends. I was the luckiest person on the face of the earth to have called you my BIG BROTHER and also to have been your LITTLE BROTHER, you were my HERO and you will always be, Thanks again for being my BROTHER and leaving me all the great memories of watching you play football because it was an honor to have been there to watch you run like the wind and for you to make it seem so easy, but that was you. I LOVE YOU!.Take care and I will see you and Dad when time deems it so. Until then watch over each and everyone of us,

YOUR LITTLE BROTHER.

TO MY BROTHER,

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE GONE. I THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS WE DID GROWING UP. I CRIED MOST WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR KIDS MISSING YOU ON X-MAS, AND JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY. IT'S SAD TO KNOW THAT I CHANGED YOUR DIAPERS ONE DAY, FOOTBALL STAR THE NEXT, ARMY AND THAN MARRIED WITH TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDERN. ALWAYS LAYED BACK AND CARE FREE. I GUESS THAT IT'S TRUE WHEN THEY SAY ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO MY SISTER-IN-LAW DONNA AND TO J.PAUL & COURTNEY. I LOVE YOU ALL AND I'M SORRY THAT I WAS UNABLE TO GET THERE TO BE WITH YOU.

WITH MUCH LOVE, DIANE

My Dear cousin Paul,

When I saw your picture, I thought, you are still so handsome. We grew up together as kids, playing and having fun. You were tall and athletic with a great smile. I will miss your kind and gentle spirit.

I Love You all

Paul was my brother's best friend throughout grade school and their teen years. Paul and his brothers spent a lot of time at our house and their antics brought a lot of joy to our home. Paul was like the brother, my brother never had. My heart goes out to Paul's family and friends.

Dear Janet,

I was very surprised and sad to hear about Paul's death. Paul's death is also a great lost to all in the extended Murillo Family. Because of the distance in cities where we all live it's hard to really get to know all the Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. I didn't know Paul very well, but I thank God for having given me the chance to see and talk with him at Mama Belen & Daddy Jesus's house.



My condolances and prayers are with you, Paul's sisters and brothers as well as his wife and children.



Paul is now in God's arms safely home.



Sincerely,

Pee-Wee, Adan, Marissa and Olivia Martinez

I received word about Paul through an email and thought it could not be true. I will miss not having the opportunity to see him again. I had worked with Paul in NJ and at Gwinnett County. He was a good friend and a great co-worker. My Family and I extend our condolences to all of Paul’s Family. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.



Paul, here’s to your great spirit until we meet again.

To Aunt Janet,



I know I should be happy for you that you were there with Paul those few days before God took him, but it makes me sad to know that you had to be there and watch him take his last breath. Your handsome son will be sadly missed by a lot of people including me. God sure is putting you through a lot lately, but hang in there Aunt Janet, because Curtis, Diane, Duane, Patrick and Adelaide, Donna and all of your Grandchildren need you now more than ever!! You are their rock, and I am praying that you stay strong and stay healthy. I send my Love to you Aunt Janet, and to your family in Kansas City, and to my Cousin Curtis in Texas. God watch over all of you and keep you all safe from harm during this sad time, and during this Holiday season.



Peace and Love

My Farewell to my Cousin Paul,



You were always a very driven young man, there was no stopping you and you knew what you wanted in life. You have made our family very proud with all of your achievements. You grew up to be a very handsome accomplised man, with a beautiful wife and 2 beautiful children. I wonder why God took such a handsome strong man so soon from this earth, but nobody has the answers. Your wife and children will always be in my prayers, and I know they will have the same goals in life just like you Cousin. I have great memories of you as a young boy, and watched you grow up into adulthood. You have always treated me with respect and I admire and Love you very much for that. I know you are in heaven with your Dad and my Dad and our Grandma and Grandpa, and my nephew Dominic, I pray that you all look out for one another in Heaven. God Bless you Donna and your beautiful children.



Peace,

Your Cousin

We were deeply saddened to hear that Paul's life had ended so suddenly. Luckily we knew him from the time he was a toddler and will cherish the wonderful memmories of being a part of his life. He was blessed with a family of his own whom he dearly loved and their love for him will help them through this time of sorrow. Hugs, kisses, prayers, and shared tears to all.

My thoughts and Prayers go out to the entire Murillo family.

Paul and I were best friends when we were kids at Graden Elementary and remained friends all throughout High School. Paul and I were pretty much inseparable as we only lived a block apart and we were always playing football, baseball or going swimming and riding our horses together. We had alot of fun together and I have thought about him often. I could have not asked for a better friend growing up in Parkville and even though we did not keep in contact in our adult life I will miss him dearly.



Deeply Saddened,
