    Although we know Paul will be missed by those that loved him, we know that he is in a much better place. We pray that the peace of God and reassurance of heaven will comfort his family. We will worship our Lord with Paul again in the "sweet by and by."

    Evelyn, Mike and family, Kim emailed me about the passing of Paul. I remember well his ability to ice skate backwards, something I never could do! Though it has been many years since you lived on Bethel Lane, childhood memories come back sometimes with ease...you were wonderful neighbors in a time when "neighboring" really meant something. May God bless and be with each of you in this difficult time - share fond recollections of husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and take comfort that he is now resting in the palm of his Heavenly Father. You are in my prayers. Kevin
