That was beautiful Aunt Ranny…
Absolutely beautiful! Uncle Paul was loved and will be remembered. Prayers to all.
A touching tribute to a kind Uncle that always thought of ways to encourage those around him. His love of nature and ability to always find beauty in the world around him was admirable.
You were not only my brother but also my best friend. I will always cherish our lifetime memories and will miss you until the day I die. Thank you for being my sweet, loving, thoughtful, kind and sensitive brother/friend. You were a blessing in my life.
