Dearest Shirley and Doris, I'm thankful for Paul's life and testimony and beautiful music through whistling the great hymns of the church! Now, as days stretch into weeks and months, may you continue to experience the riches of comfort in precious memories, the Scriptures, the great hymns Paul loved, the care of family and friends, AND the "spirit-presence" of our departed brother along with the indwelling Holy Comforter. LOVE!!!
