To All Paul's loved ones,
I am just one of his many cousins. We live in ND but got to visit Paul at our Aunt Laurette's funeral a few years back. So glad we got that visit in!!! I remember writing to him when he was in Viet Nam. May he rest in peace.

It was our privilege to serve as pastors to Paul and Jeanne as they were elders at Faith Christin Center in Bedford for several years. Their faithfulness and friendship were so appreciated. Heaven has gained a beautiful and sweet soul. I’m sure Pastor Ken was a part of the welcome party for Paul. My thoughts and prayers are extended to the entire family. With much love, Pastor Marietta Anderson

It was a blessing to serve as Paul’s pastors at FaithChristianCenter in Bedford, NH, where he and Jeanne served as elders for several years. He was always a kind and gentle friend, and we appreciated his faithfulness. Heaven has gained a sweet and loving soul who will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Laura, Amy, Kenneth, Kevin and David,
I remember going to your house to visit when you were little. I used to see your Dad when I shopped for my mother (Auntie Mary Marineau) at Hannafords. And he was always such a pleasant person. We would talk and catch up on family news. Although I wish I could, I am sorry I will not be able to attend his wake and service.
