Sweet Paul I will sure miss you. I will miss your laugh, your twinkling eyes, and your friendship. We have been friends for nearly 35 years, more than half our lives. I know the past few years have been very hard for you, and I was so glad we got to spend some time together, take some walks together, go for some rides in your Corvette, and just enjoy each other's company. I miss you my friend. I hope you are at peace now. I hope your doggies understand, I know they will miss you too.
Love you always, Cindy
