I met this man about 5 years ago. Something intrigued me about him. He told me stories, I listened. I kept coming back to here him talk. I even took him to see a movie at Edward's. I saw him one more time, last year. I said hi, and we talked for a moment. And that's the last I get to hear his stories.

This slays me, you silly old friend of mine. I've missed your four AM calls, your wit, your humor. Sadness...

Faithful, kind and always true
Reassuring through and through
Insightful in your wise advice
Enthusiastic, sweet and nice
Noted for your smiling face
Paul, no one could take your place.

Beau and I passed each other early in the morning each day. It took a few weeks before we exchanged smiles. I miss that look. May he find the comfort of God.

Paul. We went to high school and BC together. Haven't seen you in years but I have such sweet memories of you and hanging out at your house. You were a big guy with an awesome heart and it was always a pleasure to hang out with you...and get in a little bit of trouble. You will be missed. Rest in Peace.
