He will be missed by his wife Kathy, daughter Jessica, son-in-law Adam, his beloved boys grandsons, Thomas, Marshall and Gray, his sisters and brothers, nieces and nephews and his mother, Jayne Smith.
Paul, My Sweet Love. It will never be the same now that you have gone. The only man that loved me, cared for me, and always there for me. "The Perfect Love." I will manage to go on and will only truly be happy again when I am with you again. I will be patient until that day comes. I will always love you Paul, Your Wife
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
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.
