My deepest condolences to Pauls wife Gayle. May Paul sleep in peace free from pain. And Gayle remember there IS a silver lining… Your friend EVY
Paul was one of the most courageous man I have ever known. I will miss his zest for life. He was blessed by sharing his life with you, Gayle. You are a strong and loving person yourself. We can all learn something from both of you.
I\’m so very sorry Gayle. May you both be at peace.
