To Mrs.Carolyn, Tresa, and Celeste,
I wanted to give my deepest condolences to you on the loss of Paul. Paul was a very loving, kind, and wonderful person with an infectious smile and a pure heart. He loved everyone he came in contact with and loved those people to the fullest. In all the years I've known Paul, I've never heard anyone say a bad word about him. That's because there was nothing bad about Paul. He had a beautiful soul that I know has been carried up by the angels to God in heaven. May he finally rest in peace.

Paul and I grew up in the University City subdivision in Kenner,we rode the bus to school together through Middle and High school. He was a sweet boy and grew up to be a very loving and passionate man. He never had anything negative to say about anyone. He had a huge heart and a gentle soul, I know the lord took him early, and the angels have their wings wrapped around him but he is now free from pain. I will miss our chats. Bless you Paul and your family.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me" - author unknown.

Ms. Carol, Tresa, and Celeste,
I saw this quote today and thought of Paul. I am so sorry for your loss and pray that you find comfort in knowing that you are in the prayers of many. Paul was a great friend and will be missed by many.
