Dear Riben Family,

I remember visiting the farm when I was small. Paul took me for a ride on a tall, beautiful horse. With Paul's arms around me, we went over a small jump and I was totally in awe of the powerful animal beneath me ............ this is how I will remember my cousin.
With deepest sympathy to all the family,
Katherine (Fofonoff), Richard and Adam Jordens.

We are sad to hear about Paul's passing. Cherish all the happy memories. We too lost a bother/brother- in- law a week ago - life can be difficult at times but we have to carry on.

Riben Family:

May God Bless You in this time of sorrow. I had the privelege of meeting Paul many years ago. He was a good and kind friend, We often had long chats about life and our spirituality and I know that today Paul is with our Lord Jesus. I am unable to make the Service as I am in Manitoba until Monday ,my thoughts and prayers will be with you.
