Pam and Beth, I was so sorry to hear about Paul. It's so hard to choose the words after losing both our daughter , Jessica, and my sister Denise, There are no words other than I hope good memories will ease your pain. I still remember Beth and Paul when they were in school through my oldest girls and cross country ( Lori and Jenny Kuhn) . My thoughts and prayers are with you for the days ahead. Losing a child and brother leaves a hole that cant be filled but memories will help ease the pain until we meet them again.
