Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. Paul was my cousin and I remeber him growing up, but as he was older than me, we really didn't play much together. But it is uncanny how much he lookes like my brother Al, who passed away some years ago.

I just recently lost my husband and know how hard it can be. I know God will see you through your grief as He is me.

God bless you all.

Mickie,
Please accept my condolences to you and your family. Life presents such coincidences as we both got married at about the same time and now we have entered the next category of events at about the same time. I am thinking of you and sending prayers your way.
