Dear Lu and Family. Sorry to read about Paul's death, you have my sympathy. I am the former wife of David Olson. I remember the good visits and help Paul gave us after David accident. I have thought many times about you folks and wonder what has happened to you. In June David was gone 30 years already. I can say that, as so much of that suffering seems like only yesterday. Now comes the new difficult chapter in life. Glad you have a lot of Family close to help you. God Bless.
