Dearest Donna
We are so very sorry for your loss. Though it is is an equally sad and joyous time…at the same time. Paul will surely be incredibly missed. But the Battle belongs to the Lord and that’s where we are assured he is…with Jesus. We do not say Goodbye…instead we say ” we’ll see you soon”; as we know that God’s word says that a day is like a thousand years and vice versa. Please know we are praying the Lord’s comfort and peace for you as you sort through it all.
May the Lord bless and keep you; may he make His face to shine upon you and give you peace, dear sister.
With love and condolences
Sue and Doug Ludwig
Dear Donna,
A husband could never of had a better wife than you. You were the love of his life and he adored you. What a beautiful life you shared together here on this earth. May those many cherished memories bring much needed comfort to you today and everyday moving forward.
Rest in peace Paul. You will be missed and thanks for being my co-worker and friend. We had a lot of laughs together and thinking of those times puts a smile on my face.
Much love,

Donna,
So sorry to hear about Paul. He was a cool dude and always made me laugh when working with him at St. Ann’s. Please find some comfort knowing that he is with our Lord now – a person that Paul knowingly and passionately talked about to anyone! I admired Paul for being able to declare his faith in God so openly to others. Paul rests with the Lord now, and may you find peace in knowing that you helped Paul fight this cross he had to bear to get him closer to where he is now.
God Bless you Donna.
My deepest sympathies to Donna, Corey, Aunt Sharon, and the entire family. He will be missed .
Paul is now and will forever be in the presence of our lord Jesus .
Rest in peace cousin Paul…. I have faith that we will meet again……
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Donna,
So sorry for your loss.Paul will be missed. My prayers are with you and your family .]
