Many years have passed since we worshipped together in Auburn. We remember how happy and proud Paul was when his children were born. We're praying that the "peace that passes all understanding" comforts you all.

Dear Family and Friends:
I cannot express how thankful and grateful I am that all of you were so wonderful for the kids. As you can imagine, this has been hard for them, and knowing that so many people love and support them is very comforting.
I'll always remember Paul for his sense of humor, love of life and the way he loved his kids. He was an incredible, unique person. Whoever met him never forgot him.
Paul, may you rest in peace. I am sorry.

My Dear Family:
Although I didn't have the privledge of knowing my Uncle Paul when I was older, I know that he was a wonderful memory from my childhood. The very last time that I saw him was when Grandpa died, and my mom had gone to pick him up from the airport. Well those two turkeys decided to play a trick on me and tell me that he missed his flight and didn't make it. The best analogy to descirbe my disappointment was like someone had suddenly switched off the sun. I was always that excited to see him because of the laughter that he brought into my life. Well, after I expressed how sad I was, that turkey peeked his head around the corner with his big, sneaky grin and in that instant, the sunshine was back on. I was so happy and filled with light and joy, because that's what Uncle Paul was to me. And although life was hard for him, and his light dimmed as he grew older, I know that he loved his family and friends more than words could ever express. The most comforting thing about this whole experience is that I know that although he isn't with us in a physical form anymore, his light has dispersed and smaller pieces of him are now with everyone, but especially with his children because of his immenese love for them. And everytime that we think of him and smile or cry about his presence in our lives, it really is his light that is shining through us. I love you and please know that my heart is with you guys today and always. Love, Chris

Andrea and kids,
I haven't been able to think of much else since mom called me. Our love goes out to you now. I wish that we had had a chance to meet while Uncle Paul was alive. After reading the words written, it lightens my heart to know how much Paul was loved outside of the family. I have great memories of growing up with Paul. I pray that you all remember him with as much love in your hearts that I know he had for you.
Love your niece and cousin,
Jill

To Paul's Family,
I didn't get to know Paul very well as an adult. I was able to spend time with him as a baby, adolescent
and youn man. He was adorable as a baby and a lot of fun in his youth.
Paul's death makes me deeply sad for all his family and sad that I did not get to know him as an adult.
Love to all,
Sue Starr (cousin)

Paul,
I have shed many tears since I first learned of your death. You are a good friend to me -more than I knew while you were with us. You may not feel that you gave much to those you loved most. And perhaps you failed in many ways. We all struggle together. But you gave something very important to me -you gave me life. What greater thing can anyone share with another man than peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. With much patience and sincere conviction you gave me the hope of the gospel. I still remember you reciting to me again and again, "by grace you are saved" ... "by grace you are saved". What a glorious gift you have given me in the gospel. I recall those long conversations over the Bible, when you broke down the confidence I placed in myself before God. As I consider what you have given to me, I rejoice because the demonstration of your faith in Christ alone was the best thing anyone could have given me. Thank you, Jody

I am sorry for your loss. I do remember Paul fondly as a very funny guy and great cook. I'll always remember visiting your family when I was traveling for APM. I got the privilage of playing with you kids while visiting with your mom while your dad cooked us dinner. Just feel relief that your dad is at peace.
My sincere condolences,
Joyce
