Dear Family,

I am so sorry to learn of Paul's death. Aldena had emailed me last week telling me that he was not well.

Death is not an easy concept for us even though we are aware that he is now with his Heavenly Father. We are human and need that contact with our family members.

Please know that I will be with you in thought and prayer at this time.
