Paul Leo Wilkens

Miss you so much, Dad.

Dad, tomorrow it will be two years. Life will never be the same because it is so true that part of me went with you that day. I miss you every day. I love you forever.

I miss you. I will love you forever.

I am sorry Paul and I were unable to get together to reminisce about old times in the Loramie/Minster area. He led a wonderful meaningful life and had children to be proud of and I'm sure you will miss him always.

Dad I still miss you so much. Thankful God blessed me with you for a dad. Love you forever.
Lynne

Dad, we visited the cemetery today. We stood at your stone at the mausoleum in silence for a few minutes, with silent tears falling. We spoke about where we were and what was happening a year ago. It was a beautiful time that warmed my heart, which is where you are.

You were so much a part of JP and Kelsie's wedding yesterday...thank you for the beautiful sunshine. It was very emotional seeing Kelsie marry JP with your ring. It is perfect that he will wear it because he will be loyal to his beautiful bride following in your footsteps.

Tomorrow will be one year. It is so hard to believe. You are missed so terribly. I love you and miss you every day. Thank you for your love and guidance. You are still guiding your children and our spouses.

I hope you knew how much you were loved while you were here with us. Our love for you will never change.

Love always and forever,
Diane

P.S. Hello and love from Ray

Please send me your Dayton address or Florida location. Would like to get together. Thanks.

Dad, sometimes I still cannot believe you are gone. I am proud to be your daughter. Thanks for all the great advice you gave me. I love you!

Dad, sometimes I still cannot believe you are gone. I am so proud to be your daughter. Thanks for all the great advice you always gave me. I love you!

I'm sorry I only located Paul and the family too late to meet you all in Florida. I am trying to work on genealogy as is my son in Australia. He is one of four sons with three living and one who died at birth. I browsed the photos in your gallery and remember Paul in his younger days but would have recognized him as he didn't really change that much! I was interested to see Grandpa John Wilkens and Leo and FranceMarie in some photos. If any of your family would like to exchange information and perhaps meet some time, my email is [email protected]. As you might remember, Joan, I met you in Dayton and am the daughter of Elmer Reser. My sympathy to you and all your lovely large and loving family, Joan. Please contact me if you get to Florida again. I am in Tampa at 813-264-6729.

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to share a condolence or a prayer or a thought or a visit. Any and all of those are greatly appreciated by all of us - Dad, thanks for always being a faithful husband and father, and for setting an example for those of us fortunate enough to be your kids. Love always,

Paul and family: So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Mom worked with your dad for many years and often spoke of what a nice, warm person he was. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this trying time.

Dad, there is so much I want to say. Thank you for all you taught me through your words and deeds. Thank you for a childhood filled with wonderful memories. Thank you for showing me how much you loved me. Thank you for teaching me the importance of family and of honor. I have been proud to be your daughter and will always be proud that you are my father. I love you with all my heart and I always will. Rest in peace, and please be there to take my hand when God calls me.

Love you always,
Diane

Dad,
You were the very best and I will miss you and love you forever.

I am so sorry to hear about Paul. Many years ago I was your babysitter on Euclid Avenue. I have often wondered how you were and what all the children were doing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

So time we look at this as a lost but if we know God well, we know that this is really a win, win situation. For you father being with Christ and at rest and the family for knowing this.

Paul,
So sorry to learn of your Dad's passing. I lost my father in 1993 and still miss him greatly. As the years go by your great sorrow will turn to fond memories. My prayers are for you and your family.

Paul: I just read about your dad... he was such a joy to work around. He and I had many laughs together... Our Lord promised a wonderful reunion someday and I know you and your family will long for that day. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Sorry to hear of the sad news. He will be missed. We will keep the family in our prayers. York Family.

Wilken's Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in our hearts and prayers through this tough time. Love you all dearly.

Our heart weeps for the entire family with this sudden loss. What a blessing it was Paul for you to have the past few weeks of quality time with your dad. Our prayers are with your family during these coming days. Love you Brother!

Your entire family are in our prayers. He was such a grandfather and your children will always remember the time he spent with them at the swim meets.

My condolences on the loss of your husband and father. I knew Paul during my thirty plus years at Delco, he was always cheerful and helpful in any way that he could. I saw him often at the U.D. basketball games during the four years that I had season tickets. I will be out of town on business this Thursday, by my thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Paul, Heidi and Elizabeth,
I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there in person to express my sympathy. Please know that you and your entire family are in my prayers.

To the entire Wilkens family. So sorry to hear about Paul. His presence will be missed at Sara Sea on Siesta Key.

May your many memories bring you comfort and peace during this difficult time. Keeping your family in prayer-
The Crist family (Niceville, FL)

Wilkens Family,

Our hearts are filled with sorrow for your loss. Paul's spirit was always full of life, and in his presence one could always feel his love and admiration for his family and friends. He was a man of integrity and love and a major part of the solid foundation for such a wonderful family.

His loss here on earth is tremendous, but his spirit watching over his family from Heaven above can hopefully provide comfort and peace to those left behind.

Our prayers, thoughts and love are with you. And we know there is not much anyone can truly do through this difficult time, but we are here for you for whatever you think you may need, do not hesitate to ask.

Love,
The Catanzaros
Vince, Shelley and Dominic

Robert & Shelly I was sorry to hear about the lost of your father. You have the prayers of all my family.
