Paul's inner strength and resolve was matched by his sweet smile.

When he smiled, we smiled.

When we saw him in town, stopping for coffee, his pace and perspective

was a reminder to Elise and me, to

treasure every seemingly mundane minute of the day. I know Paul tried to do that. We won't forget.
