Rest assured that I'll remember Paul in my prayers. I make it a habit to pray often for my former students. Athough Paul was not in my class at SMHS, I do remember him from those days.

We were so saddened to hear of Paul's passing.

At this time of loss
May you know...
His compassion, His grace, His Love.
Joe, Tila, Robin, and all the Shaya family - I was with Paul a few weeks ago when he showed sincere concern for the mother of my children, Rosalie, who was also in the hospital and has since passed away. When I left the hospital, Paul was going into rehab and I was happy, thinking that God was not ready for him yet.
Needlesstosay, Joe - my life-long buddy, and Robin, a fine, young man who exemplifies the Shaya family tradition - the Shaya family and the Grace family have been close for a very, very long time. Ironically, Paul passed on the birthdate of my late brother, Augustine Grace Jr.
I know where Paul has landed. He has earned his place with God, and while we are praying for him, I ask him to pray for us, and ask God for his mercy for us poor souls on earth.
May the love of God surround you
during this time of sorrow.
You're in our thoughts and prayers.
Herman Grace, his wife, Charlet,
and the entire Grace family
