Shirley, My thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family since the first time Bill told us at church that Paul was sick. I am sure there have been times since Paul's illness when you felt like you didn't have the words to pray. Believe me, we've all been there and God, The Father knows our thoughts and minds and understands what we need. I wish I could have been with you this week, but God had other plans for me. Please remember that God never forsakes us and is with us always. I've known you since I was 9, even though I haven't been close to you lately. I loved Paul and I love you and Barbie and PJ. Remember that you have friends and we are willing to help. I'll see you in a couple of wks. when I am able to get back on my feet. I send you my condolences and my love. Love, Linda

I just want you to know that my prayers and thoughts are with you during this very sad time in your life. God has a purpose and a plan for each of us and this too is a part of that plan. Love Mary
