I was so sorry to hear about Paul. Brenda (my sister) and I were out of town and could not attend the service but our prayers and thoughts are with the family at this sad time. Mama (Gussie Lyles)and Uncle Burl grew up with Paul and his siblings and loved each and every one of them. They were more than double-first cousins they were true friends.

Sorry for your loss. Earth's loss is Heaven's gain. To be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord. I believe Leon Brown and Dennis Boles were in the receiving line beside Jesus saying "WELCOME HOME PAUL, we have been waiting for you."

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
