Dear Marguerite and family,

I am so sorry to learn (from my mother, Harriet Horning) of your sudden loss of Paul. What a truly good man. I have often thought of my acting experience with his being my father in one of Virginia's plays. I will never forget him. GOD'S Blessings and Comfort at this time.

Margurite,Sandy, Terry, Ric, and Tanya,

We are so very sorry for your loss. Paul was such a wonderful man, husband, and father. My father held him in such high esteem. Mother is so saddened by the news of Paul passing. It brings us both bitter sweet memories of 6 years ago.

Life is a brief passing, but love goes on forever.

May the love of Jesus hold you dear through this difficult time.

With great affection,

Doralyn & Evelyn Hooper

Marguerite, Sandy, Terry, Ric and Tanya. I was so saddened when I heard of the passing of Paul. Our families go way back and I have many vivid memories of him at FBC Sunnyvale. He was a very godly man and I know it gives you comfort to know that he is with the Lord even though you miss him very much. Believe me, I feel your pain. I know you all supported our family in the loss of my dad in 1984 and my mother more recently (2007). Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I may try to stop by and see you if you are available on Sunday as I will be in town. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the service.
