Paul, you will be missed. When I think of you, I find myself smiling. Our 50 or more year friendship has left me with great memories. I'll always remember those brown stirrup stretch pants, babysitting you on New Year's and all our dirty talking back and forth. Thank you for all the cooking help and for always loving and caring for my Linda. Please watch over all of us and I look forward to seeing you again in heaven. Thank you for being a blessing in my life. Hugs.....
