Dear Uncle Paul, & family: I am truly sorry to hear about the loss of your mom, she held a place in my heart too and always will. I thought of her as a grandma to me and a wonderful one at that. But now she is in a better place and can watch over all of us from up above. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Love, Brieanne ( and Laura and Tim too)

Dear Paul,



Your mom was indeed a gracious, dignified and lovely lady. She was so proud of you.



Paul, you encouraged and helped me shortly after I lost my mother almost six years ago. I will always treasure that kindness. Perhaps you will allow me to reciprocate in some way. I'm just a few courts away.



Our prayers are with you and your family. May your mom's special memories warm your hearts and comfort you in the days and years to follow.



God Bless You,



Bob Finnie
