The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.

Margaret, Kathy and family,
We were sorry to learn of Paul's death. What a fun guy he was. Always laughing and doing silly little things to make you laugh. Your visits were always appreciated and the times we spent together were always enjoyable.
May the many stories you share keep him alive in your hearts forever.
We will be thinking of you all through this most difficult time.
