Dear Thurber Family,
I was so sad to hear of your loss. I couldn't help but remember all the times I have come to your house and have seen Bro. Thurber. He was always so kind and thoughtful when I talked with him. He always made me laugh. I hope you know your family and especially Daniel are in my thoughts and prayers. May the Lord bless your family with comfort in this difficult time.

Dear Diana,
I was just thinking about you and Paul the other day and then my mother-in-law emailed us that Paul had passed away. Lynn and I will always remember the first few months of our marriage living out in Palmerville in the apartments by you guys. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Thank goodness for the knowledge we have of being together forever. I'm sure Paul is finally free from pain and the limitations of his body. We love you.
Love Lynn and Brenda Eldredge

We were shocked and deeply saddened to hear that Paul passed away. He has been a big part of almost every life changing event that our family has had and we love him for it. We are going to miss him at Lexi's baptism next month.

Our deepest wish is that his family will know how much they are loved by their Heavenly Father, how blessed they are to know that this seperation is only temporary and that Paul's influence will always remain.
