“Our heart goes out to Harriet and family as you all learn to live without Paul. He was a good and faithful servant and used his brilliant gifts and intellect to serve God well. He was also a good friend to us and during their family's years in Marshfield, they were like family to us. Especially Faith (our daughter's best friend) was like a 2nd daughter to us. Paul will be missed by all but his memory will live on. Blessings & comfort to you all during this sad time. Gary & Linda Hedding”

Kay Persons wrote a sympathy message

“I was so sorry to hear from Rochelle of Paul's passing. One of the background pictures on my computer is the one where you allowed Katherine to be in your family photo - that says so much to me. It speaks of both Paul and Harriet being welcoming to all... I will never forget the times spent with you in the summers during our childhood. I hope you can all take comfort knowing how well-liked and highly respected Paul was. I pray for comfort for you going forward without him.”
