Paige,
I just learned of Paul's death. Even though it's been ages since I've seen you guys, I could never forget you or Paul. We had way too much fun at the Pika house at UR! I can't tell you how sorry I am to know you & your family have lost such a great husband, father & grandfather. Please give me a call when you're up to it & let me know if there's anything I can ever do for you and your family. Take care.
