It doesn't seem possible that it has been 9 years, I miss you very much and
think of you everyday with a smile for your witty sense of humor and your
kindness. "I'm the best money can buy", you said to me on more than one
occasion, meaning you thought I was a good sister-in-law. We did have a special friendship and I will always treasure that. Love you always.

Dear Brother,
5 years, how is that even possible. You are always in my heart and on my mind. I miss you and Lyle so much. I pray every day that when I close my eyes that last time, that you two will be there to greet me when I open them. I know you two are watching over us and that is a comfort. I love you forever.

I know Paul has been gone since 2011 but he still remains a friend of mine on Facebook. I see his face often on my wall of friends as I have never deleted him. I did not know him well but when he announced he had a brain tumor I was the only one to comment and send him prayers. I just wanted to say I am sorry for your loss and God Bless.

crazy mary here, 1975-KFC, fastforward 36 years-treasured memories of your home cooked meals, de-LIGHT-ful after dinner conversations and the love you emitted of your family. Paul, you made me laugh and you made me cry but most of all you taught me dignity in the time of despair. You left this world as the master teacher, showing its not what you have but who you love & how well

I can remember standing outside in the snow shaking a bunch of jingle bells underneath the bedroom window--trying to get you, Lyle and Les asleep on Christmas Eve. I told you all that Santa came by, but he saw you all awake so he was going to have to come back later. It worked! Christmas was always your favorite holiday. Even as an adult, you wanted toys! I miss you and love you! xoxoxoxox

My uncle Paul was one the gentlest human beings ever to have graced this planet with his presence. Never have I been around someone that you could feel safe to be hanging out with and be so damn funny all in the same experience. He was definitely one of the good guys that was taken way before his time. The force was with you and we all knew it. I'm gonna miss your laugh and I love you.

(2) Your kindness and compassion to those around you amazed me as a child. You were a selfless and just person, the kind of father, husband, brother, son, uncle, or friend any human would be blessed to have. You had such a light hearted humor and wit, and such a positive way about living. Your non judgmental and thoughtful behavior exhibited the foundations of the golden rule .

(1) Dear Paul,
I have been so reluctant to write to you, not wanting to admit to myself that I will no longer see your smiling and kind face greeting me at your earthly door. I believe however, that though I cannot see you for the time being that you live on in the hearts of all who loved and knew you. To know you was to love you.

You impacted many lives and left a lasting imprint that can never fade or parish. With much love and peace, Jennifer

Fathers Day

by Jayne Smith
I wanted to let you know we miss you as much today as we did nine months ago. I also wanted you to know I thought you were a very good step father to Jessica I know you loved her as if she were your own child, since no one else took the time to wish a Happy Fathers Day. I wanted to do that for you. I also wanted to tell you, you were a wonderful Father,Husband Son,Brother and a Friend to be proud of. You were always considerate and kind. I am so sorry what happened to you, I would have gladly have taken your place if I could have. I am sure that any Mother would feel that way.
I am just truly sorry that some people in your life have been nothing but inconsiderate and uncaring, you deserved so much more
than that. So rest in peace knowing you were loved dearly. Mama.

Since September 17th I have felt such an unsettling in my spirit, after our being linked together spiritually and physically for so long, the disappearance of that link has been unbearable at times.I believe there is a journey a person makes when they pass.
On December 21st a wave of peace and warmth swept over my heart and spirit. When I woke that morning I knew immediately that you had completed your journey and found your place among the stars (in Heaven).
Farewell my precious love . You are in my heart forever and now I know you are at peace. Your wife, Kathy
My Christmas Gift To Paul
December 15, 2011
by Kathy Smith
Christmas was always a big production with us and decorating began every Thanksgiving weekend. Though you were a gentle spirit and a generally happy person, when it came time for Christmas, your spirit was lit from within and you shined your brightest.You filled the house with laughter and happiness. You took such joy in watching your grandsons excitement when they saw the tree and opened their gifts.
This year I dreaded the approaching holidays and swore I would let Christmas come and go unnoticed, other than the wrenching absence of my precious Paul. After Thanksgiving and I brought home your ashes, the time had come when you and I would have begun to "Deck The Halls". True to form,Thomas showed up ready to pick up where you left off. He would not let me set idle by while the house was begging to be decorated. Every year he came and you both were so happy putting the lights on the trees in the back yard. Our Jennifer came over and she and Thomas went thru every strand of lights and pulled out all your favorite knick knacks and notions. Jennifer put the tree next to your urn and brought your boys over to help put the ornaments on. When I plugged in the lights and stepped back, I was overwhelmed with love and thankfulness that I was blessed by your life. In that moment and many since, I know I feel your warmth and presence, I can hear your laughter, as I look upon the lights and your legacy you left behind. Merry Christmas, My Love, Your Wife, Kathy.
