  4. I loved it when Donna and Paul birded with our group. Paul’s enthusiasm for life is a tribute to both of you. I often have thought of both of you. My thoughts are with you and I know Donna’s strength will get her through this time.

  5. Donna,
    I grieve for the loss of your longtime love and companion. Although I can only imagine how you feel, I hope that my sympathy and caring help in some way.
    Love,
    Kate

  6. Bob/Ginny/Family,
    It’s hard to lose a parent, I know from experience. What I can say, is that over time, you will learn that while you have lost their physical presence, they are/will be with you every day in so many ways. Treasure those memories, experiences & teachings. That is how we gain immortality. I only hope I can inspire my children to think of me in the same ways. Finally, as Christians, remember we look forward to meeting them again in the after-life. May God bless your Dad.

  7. Dear Donna and family, it is with deep sadness that I write this message of sympathy. Paul was a very special loving, caring, and kind man who lived an amazing life. I am praying for Paul and for you as you grieve and honor him. Love, Rita and Dave
