Susan and I have known Father Paul since 1968. If there was ever a priest after the Heart of God, it was Father Paul. He was a wise and gentle father and a great friend and brother. His deep love for the Virgin Mary strengthened our own love and devotion. Our hearts are broken from the pain of losing such a precious brother and friend but we know that his eyes opened on Nov. 12th to see Saints Vincent de Paul, Louise de Marillac and Elizabeth Ann Seton, all of whom brought him to Our Lady and she to her Son. Rest in the arms of God our gentle brother, priest of Jesus Christ! Till we see you in heaven, pray for us!! Walter and Susan Whitehead, Berryville, Arkansas
