Cindy, I am so sorry of this terrible loss. I was very sad when I first heard the bad news about Paul's illness. Paul was one of the best scientist and nicest people I ever met at Mayo. It was always a pleasure to talk with him about science, food, wine. I enjoyed so much having an espresso in his office and just chatting. My deepest sympathies to you and the family.
