Melanie or Mel, my heart is broken for the lost of your precious son. I never got the chance to meet him, but you spoke so proudly of him at work i felt like i knew him through your words.

I will continue to pray for you during this time of grief and beyond.

Paul was a brilliant and humourous student at Wharton. As his eighth grade teacher, I found him refreshing and curious. The years have passed bur a teacher rarely forgets her students. It is very hard to understand this life so young, so much to offer, has met the Master. Perhaps we will never understand but we will by and by. Grace and mercy to the family and friends who mourne. Blessed are they for they will be fulfilled.
