I'm so sorry to hear of Mr. Paul's passing. I knew Mr. Paul since I was little girl. Him and my mom, Shirley Tetterington, worked together for the City Parish. I always remembered his smiling face every time I would be at the office. Always very nice. Praying for comfort during this difficult time. God Bless.

Working up on the farm or playing down at the camp will be good times that will never be forgotten. Wonderful memories of joyful times that I will cherish forever for sure. Thanks Mrs. Sue and your family for sharing him with all of us.

Sue
Without a doubt Paul was a man that was easy to use as a mentor while growing up.Always willing to take the time for others and seeing he had GOD in his heart was such an inspiration while being around him. Fishing the trout lines behind the camp with him and Uncle Ralph will always be a childhood memory I shill cherish forever. All of your family will be in our prayers and thoughts during this difficult time. May GOD bless your family and give the strength you'll need at this time.
Love you, Robby & Cindy Angelloz

Sue and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Being a girl from Mississippi myself, I always enjoyed the times we were able to visit at Linda Rab's store. I was like being home with family and friends. Please know that I am thinking of you.
Sincerely,
