Paul the day I met you I felt as if I'd known you all my life. So kind and always concerned for others. A true servant of the Lord. One of my favorites. I am so happy for you. I'll never forget your genuine love and wit. Until we meet again Brother.

Rosella Brookens

Paul had so much love for his family and they have such precious memories
The Willingham family, Ralph, Mildred, Rosella and Sue Ann moved in next house east of the Wilhours. They were good neighbors and in a few years I considered them my other parents. After my children were in school Miriam and I would do things together. In later years Harry wasn't driving much and I took him with me to the Pablo Museum, Tractor pulls, and Historical Society meetings. Miriam didn't enjoy those things and I did and Harold,, my husband, didn't enjoy them either.
Some of those were THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

I remember Paul as a genuine person who provided love and care to Maggie and who was such a blessing to Amy and Sheri when they really needed a daddy in their young lives and who continued to be a wonderful and supportive father as they grew up.

I never had the opportunity to meet you in person. But the love that you shared with me and my family in Illinois, was as perfect a description of what Jesus calls us to do, as anyone I have ever known. God knew what He was doing when He allowed you to be present with this world.
