Paul has always been the most joyful person I know. His joi de vie and energy is always there, and spreads to all of us around him.. How could you not be happy and smiling around Paul. There are so many special happy memories with our girls and without, playing games, sports, adventures and simply hanging out. Sometimes it was tough keeping up with his endless energy. Paul will always hold a very special place in my heart. He was my life saver during a tough time, always willing to listen, talk, and just be there with a shoulder and a huge hug. He gave so much of himself to me, and I would like to think I was as generous giving back. Paul is a blessing to all the lives he’s touched! I feel privileged to have been a part of his life. God bless you Paul, you will always be with me!

I heard your voice in the wind today, and I turned to see your face;

The warmth of the wind caressed me as I stood silently in place.

I felt your touch in the sun today as it’s warmth filled the sky;

I closed my eyes for your embrace and my spirit soared high.

I saw your eyes in the window pane as I watched the falling rain;

It seemed as each raindrop fell it quietly said your name..

I held you close in my heart today it made me feel complete;

You may have left … but you are not gone you will always be a part of me

As long as the sun shines

I love you Paul. Thank you for being a big part f my life.
