We are saddened to hear of your loss. Although I did not know Paul personally, the loss of a loyal member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans always saddens me, especially so early in life. May God bless all of you.

Dear Susan,

Amy and I are deeply saddened by the fact that we have to physically let Paul go, however, we know that his wonderful smile and sense of humor will be with us forever. Their is no doubt in our mines that Paul is already looking down at all of us to help us deal with the burdens of our earthly lives. Their is no one on the face of this earth that knew exactly how beautiful of a person Paul was better than you; but we can assure you that our lives have been enriched through the freindship and love we have been able to share with both of you. We rejoice with you and your family in the celebration of Paul's life and We are all comforted in the fact that we know he is "Free" at "Peace" and with the "Lord" in "Life Eternal".



We pray that God will strengthen you and all of Paul's Family and that he may comfort each of you as only he can. We share in your Love for Paul each time we close our eyes and see that beautiful smile.



Amy and I are here for you and your family to help in any way we possible can. You are constantly in our thoughts and our prayers.



"God Bless You"



Love,



Gary & Amy

Susan & Chris; so many feelings are being felt during this sorrow time. We know that Paul will be missed by many. The greatest thing I know is that Paul is much happier now and he is not sick. Just imagine the sites and things he is seeing. It is nice knowing that there is a much better place for us. Most of the time we look at death as an end. I have come to an understanding that it is only our beginning of the rest of our life.



Our Family sends all our love and prayers to yours.



GOD Bless you..Carl, Debbie, Niki, Ashlee and LeeAnna Brooks

Dearest Sue & Family, I can't express the sorrow I feel for you nor would any words take the place of Paul, but there is peace in knowing that he is with our Father in Heaven. He will suffer no more! I was planning on visiting you at the funeral home but my health took a turn this week and I won't be able to make it, but know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you and Chris and Nicole and the rest of your family. I'm here if you need a shoulder or an ear.

In Christs Love,

Wayne Osborne
