HI DADDY, IM STILL HERE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH, I MISS HEARING YOUR VOICE. I MISS SPENDING TIME WITH YOU HAVING COFFEE AND STITING AT YOUR KITCHEN TABLE TALKING ABOUT EVERY THING. I REALLY WISH YOU WERE HERE, I REALLY NEED A HUG. I NEED MY DADDY. IM HURTING SO BAD AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL ANY BETTER, IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE EVERYDAY. I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE STERLING AND THE OTHER KIDS AND I FEEL REALLY BLESSED BUT AT THE SAME TIME I FEEL LIKE I AM LETTING THEM DOWN LIKE I LET CHRIS AND JOSH DOWN. I WISH THE LAST 6 YEARS WAS JUST SOME HORRIBLE DREAM. I LOVE AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH.

I HAVE SO MUCH TO TELL YOU ABOUT, WE FINIALLY MOVED INTO THE NEW HOUSE, YOU WERE SO RIGHT I CAN'T BELIEVE I THOUGHT IT WASN'T GOING TO BE BIG ENOUGH. OH AND I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS I HOPE YOUR SITTING DOWN FOR THIS ONE... AND NO I'M NOT PREGNANT. BUT YOU HAVE A GREAT GRANDSON, CHRIS AND HIS GIRLFRIEND KRIS HAD A BABY BOY ON MARCH 22 THEY NAMED HIS JOSHUA HE WAS BORN REALLY REALLY EARLY (@ 27 WEEKS) HE WEIGHTED 2 POUNDS AND 6 OZ AND WAS 13 INCHES LONG.

Brother, at the cemetery Sunday when I told you about our house being on the market for less than 24 hrs. When I got home we had an offer that we accepted, like I told you Sunday, we are following the plan & walking in the light. I will talk to David about checking on You & Josh if we move, the closing is set now for Feb. 26th, no matter if not as often I'll be by often as I can. Love you both--- Mike

May 27, 1942 - October 28, 2005 One year ago today we lost a Father, Brother & Frieng. Paul was always there for anyone who needed help. Today we realize how much he did help others. God called Paul home to be with his beloved son Josh, who passed in Sept. 2004. Paul was broken hearted by the passing of Josh because his whole life was to see Josh grow with his family & be a good father & husband. Paul, whether it be one year or an eternity, we will never forget you. Today we will not sorrow, but rejoice, that in your passing you & Josh are watching over all of us. Lord, please give us the strength & wisdom to cope with Pauls passing, knowing God's plan for us all, we will all re-unite in heaven. Love from your family & frinds. Paul it has been hard, but today I fulfilled our promise to each other, I will be careful about any promises I make in the future. Love Brother.

GOOD MORNING DAD
JUST WANTED TO SAY HI AND TALK FOR A MIN. STERLING AND I TOOK THE KIDS TO PLAY PUT PUT YESTERDAY AND YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF ME I HAD THE LOWEST SCORE. CYRILLA & RAISTLAIN LOOKED SO CUTE. LIL STERLING WAS RUNNING AROUND CHASING THE BALLS, I CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS WALKING ALREADY. HEATHER IS PLAYING VOLLEYBALL AND SHE SIGNED UP TO PLAY BASKETBALL THAT STARTS AT THE END OF MARCH. THE KIDS REALLY MISS YOU. CYRILLA ASKS QUESTIONS ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME, AND POOR RAISTLAIN JUST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. I LOVE TELLING THEM THINGS ABOUT YOU AND JOSH BUT SOMETIMES IT'S REALLY HARD. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I MISS OUR MORNING AND EVENING PHONE CALLS. IT WAS HARD LOSING JOSH, BUT LOSING A PARENT IS WELL I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT INTO WORDS. I FEEL SO ALONE AT TIMES EVEN THOUGH I HAVE MY MOM, HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. WELL ENOUGH OF THAT, AUNT MARY WROTE ME A REALLY NICE LETTER AND I PLAN ON KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH HER AND AS MANY OF THE EATONS AS I POSSIBLY CAN. I WOULD LOVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHERE WE CAME FROM SO I CAN PASS THAT ON TO MY KIDS. I REALLY WISH YOU WERE HERE. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND THERE ISN'T A MOMENT THAT YOUR NOT WITH ME.

My heart goes out to the Eaton Family once again for such a great loss..
Hello Paul,
I havent really seen or talked to you in a lil over a year since josh's memorial. I cant beleive you are gone.. I just talked to Chyrl a few months ago and I had asked her about you.. I thought you were better. No more pain though and now you can be with your Josh.. Please watch over your family, keep them strong, if not make them stronger. You have such a wonderful family and you were a very sweet man, you and your smile. Anyways, I better go along... God Bless.

I just wanted you to know how much we have thought about you lately. We miss you and Josh so much and wish you were both here with us. But, in the long run, it must be great to be with your son once again. Amerie misses you too and is always asking for her Papaul and wondering where you are. It's amazing how much her little mind can pick up. Chryl is great with her and spends Tuesdays and Thursdays with her every week. I know it must be hard on her with you and Josh gone, but she always finds comfort in Amerie and I am glad about that. She is a very strong woman.
I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I hope you and Josh continue to watch over your family here on earth until we all meet again.

brother, today i was going to ajob site and saw a pump of Hunters, i stopped and talked with Rod for a while, he told me everyone misses you being around to get on them for not working like they should. i went to visit you and josh on thanksgiving, it just made things more normal. it seems so strange to have the hollidays without both of you, i saw grand-daughter the other day at your house, she was looking for you, her mother and grandparents are doing a great job with her but i know that doesn't suprise tou any. i left you a club and golf ball, by the way i have yours and josh's clubs, i'll keep trying to learn to play left handed but have a long way to go. well it's 4.00 a.m. with not much to do so i'll go to work now, just wanted to talk a while this morning. i know there will be some more sleepless nites so you'll be hearing from me. mike & marcy

Our deepest sympathies go out to all the Eaton brothers and their families and to Chryl and Christina and her family. We will miss Paul so much but we know he and Josh have been reunited. That part of it is joyful. Now we have added to the family of angels looking out for our families. It was always special for us to visit Paul and Chryl and talk about life in general. Mostly we shared memories of Josh and how much we all missed him. Paul always said how he was so proud of Amerie and how she looked so much like Josh. He truly loved her and she loved him. He made all of us feel like family and although our times together were brief on this earth someday we will see each other again and renew our friendship. He was the one that held the family together but I hope that the Eaton family will continue to be a part of Amerie's life because she will need that connection later on. We love you Paul and will miss you greatly.
The Tamez Family.

brother, i never knew a week and a half could be so long or so lonesome, but it has been both. i hope the funeral was the way you wanted and expected. renee and cheryl where great, but have had their problems dealing with you being gone, by the way this is the first trip you went on without me.i will try every day to remember the good times we had, but i also will think about the things we did not do, which could not be much. well i also want to ask about the texas game on saturday, was that your way of letting me know? hope so, brother i,ll say good-by for now, have so much to tell you, so am saying see-ya for now. brother mike

Paul you were such a wonderful man. Eveerytime I saw you I could feel how much love you had for everyone around you. It's very rare to find someone who loves and cares for people the way you did. I lost my father a long time ago and when I was around you I felt that kind of fatherly love again. I want to thank you for always making me feel special and like a part of your family. Thank you for raising such a special woman like Christina. She is so full of love and kindness. Thank you for giving me such a great person in my life. You will be missed by so many. We will never forget you.
Bye for now. Love, Lisa

My sincere condolances go out to your family and your extended family. Paul, I have known you a long, long time, but I will, and I hope your family as well take comfort in knowing that you are where you want to be...with Josh, holding him in your arms. And knowing that you are with your son makes me so happy. I love you Paul, like a brother.
Go in peace and may God take care of your loved ones until you'll all meet in heaven.
