Thank you, Paul. Being in the position that I am now, feeling worthless, feeling like there's nothing more to life; hearing your story changed my perspective. 'No matter what situation you find yourself in, make the most of it, and live life to the fullest.' Thank you for being the living embodiment of that phrase. You will never be forgotten, your life story will inspire future generations to come. Rest in Paradise Paul God bless you and your family.

Deepest condolences to the Alexander family, many, many friends as you fine comfort with you during this difficult time in your lives. Mr. Paul Alexander survived polio as a child and as a result was placed in an iron lung in 1952, in which he remained almost entirely confined for the rest of his life. He went to Southern Methodist University, then earned a doctorate in law from the University of Texas at Austin. He was admitted to the bar in 1986 and worked for years as an attorney, using a special wheelchair that held his body upright in court. We have the hope and trust in God that one day there will be no more diseases, like polio, what a wonderful time that will be. May the love and the special memories you shared with your family, friends and other relatives show just how much your life was touched by him. May Almighty God in the Heavens comfort your hearts with peace and loving kindness as you cope with this precious loss in your lives. Thank you for Mr. Paul Alexander's contribution to his community. He will be remembered and missed, but his contributions not forgotten. May family, friends and extended family cherish his memories.

Condolences to the family, caregivers and friends of Paul Alexander,

Thank you for caring for Mr. Paul Alexander for many years.
One of the Proverbs says: "A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble." Each of you and even some of his family members, friends and caregivers during his lifetime may have even passed away before he did who also helped him not to feel alone. Life´s problems are not quite so heavy if we do not have to face them alone and dear Paul Alexander did not have to face his confined years alone thanks to you! Find comfort in knowing he cared about each of you and so do we on this cite.
