So very sorrow to hear about “Uncle” Paul. I have such fond memories of being around him. He was always a ball of fun. He will truly be missed by so many. Sending my deepest sympathy and love to all the family.

Dear Barbara & Family,
Sending my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Paul was a special friend, he always had something “funny” that he would say or do to me whenever I saw him. I am so thankful for his friendship.
My prayer is that God will heal all your broken hearts and may your memories bring you comfort.
In Christian Love,
Peggy
