I haven't seen Paul in some time, but I remember spending time with him during the Southeastern Soccer games. He always seemed to have a smile on his face. We lost a great guy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.

Our hearts are so sad right now. We love you so much and we are going to miss you terribly every day. Ron is so lost. Telling him was one of the hardest things I have ever done. He says all he can think of is your goofy grin antics and all I can think about is who is going to get me my balloons for my non birthday. We are going to miss you but we will never forget you I promise. We love you Huggles.

We had just met, but over the short period of time, you became a good friend. And you will be greatly missed.
