Dear Rose,
I am so sorry. I keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so thankful for the good times we had this past year at our monthly WWHS Class of ‘66 breakfasts.
Remember: Length of life is no measure of it; what really counts is the measure of happiness one brings through that life.
I will miss Paul.
With Sincere Love,

Our deepest sympathy for your loss. paul and I attended Jackson and Wilson together. In fact paul and I worked at jackson when we were teenagers. Paul was a good man, a warrior, and loyal friend. So sorry we can’t get in to town as we are living out west and presently unable to journey. Paul and entire family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely yours,

Dearest Dubaj family,
Paul had been a long time family friend for years! I remember his big heart! I was very young the last time I saw him but remember him fondly! He use to give me dolls to play with! 
I was thrilled to get back in contact with him these last few years but my parents have continually been in contact with him since the first day they met. He was cherished by them and hold their friendship close to their hearts.
I am sorry to hear of his passing and realize that this post is a bit late. Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of him and know he’s in a better place.
Love, Hugs and Warmest regards,
Diana Garcia-Poore and family:

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May the words in John 5:28,29 bring you hope and comfort.
