    Paul, please accept my deepest sympathy for you and your family.
    It’s certianly been a while since we have shared any time. My father passed away last Thanksgiving. I trust you and everyone are able to weather the storm. Let me know how you are.

    I am so sorry for your loss. It has been many years since Eugene Field Elementary, MJHS, and MHS, but I look back on those days, and my memories of you, happily. You, your sons, and grandsons will be in my prayers.

    Dear Paul, our sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time. Nearly 40 years of marriage is truly a life partnership. May you find comfort in the many memories of times shared.

    Dear Paul–So surprised and sad to hear of Beth’s passing. You have a rich life together and those wonderful grandchildren. Blessings to you!

    Paul- I want you to know how much I enjoyed the time I was able to spend with you and Beth. Knowing that I was able to help her and decrease her pain, as well as provide some comic relief, is a good feeling to have. Thank you for inviting me into your home to try to make Beth feel as good as possible. I hope the light over the fireplace is eternally with the both of you.

    Dear Paul,

    I am so sorry to learn the sad news about the death of your wife. Loved ones are hard to lose and it takes a long time to at least quiet the heartbreak, but I pray that God will bless you and help you in this difficult time.

    For years we have wondered where you are and what you are doing..

    Donovan’s daughter, Holly McFarland lives in Overland Park. I’m sure Donovan will contact you.

    Sincerely,
    Marion

    Paul,

    I’m so sorry about Beth. I always look back at the times I spent with you and Beth…and the dogs, with great fondness. You two were a wonderful couple. It was a privilege to know her.

    Garrett

    Paul,
    My deepest sympathy to you and for the loss of your wife.
    Beth was always very kind to me growing up–in and out of your yard.

    Paul, Clena, Brian and Robert…know that my families prayers are with you as well. We all have found memories of the years we shared living next to you.
    — time will help with pain and lean on each other.
    -Rosebud

    Dearest Paul,
    I saw June Kempthorne today and she told me about Beth’s passing. I am so very sorry for your loss and will be thinking of you and your family. Even though we haven’t seen each other for many years, you’ll always have a special place in my heart. I’m still here in Manhattan, so if you ever want to talk, you know where I am. You and Beth had many great years together, and I can’t even imagine how hard this must be for you.
    Always,
    Patty

    Paul,
    Suzie and I have spent these past few days remembering/celebrating the days of Earthshine (when she sold tie-dye to you and Beth) Mrs. Bluebirds Buttons; Frye & Frye; the piranha in the in U of Winnepeg fountain; that wonderful Triumph; sailing with you two; our cook-outs at the creek; masquerade night at the Pit; Mardis gras; sorghum harvest in West Texas; digging post holes; you and Beth camping in my backyard and then later, me camping in your backyard; the ferrets; and that old Mercedes….and just on and on and on. What wonderful times. Perhaps you and I should load up, (sometime in the future) and head out for Nogales..we could be a couple of old gringos down there with that architect feller Fields…wonder if he still sails? And where?

    We’re missing her, too, Paul,

    Skip and Suzie

Please share your thoughts ...
