Dear Amay and Don, I was shocked to hear of the sudden death of your son. We as parents never expect that our children will die before we do. My heart goes out to you and the other members of his family. Your faith will help in the long grieving process and times when you miss him but I know the loss will still hurt. May you be comforted by God's presence and good memories of your times with your son. Many Blessings, Pauline Loretta
Dear Don, Amay and family--our sincerest condolences--thank you to Doug Blair who passed along this tragic and heartbreaking news only yesterday. Joanne and I have enjoyed being served by Paul on several occasions at various locations in Calgary and Banff--it was always enjoyable with Paul always smiling and having great discussions of course mainly revolving around our past association with both of you. Paul lives on with the presence of little Maxwell--I know you will cherish every moment you have with him. Love Joanne and David
I can't imagine the grief you as Paul's family are experiencing following his untimely passing. I'm so encouraged by the knowledge that you are a family of faith and will discover that as you reach out to our Lord that He will be very present to comfort and will gradually bring some healing to your broken hearts. Your very much in my prayers!
Dear Amay and Don. We were shocked and saddened to hear of Paul's sudden death. May the God of all comfort be very near to you at this time. May His presence enfold you in His arms of love as you grieve the loss of your precious son. Much love Arlene and Lutz
Amay,Don, Mariella, Maxwell and Tania, Although I did not meet Paul, my heart feels the intensity of brokenness and grief your family must feel at this sudden passing of your beloved son, partner, father and brother. May God lead you to still waters to restore your soul, while you feel the embrace of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit encompassing you all with His Grace and everlasting love, not withstanding that particular peace that passes understanding surrounding you and cushioning your steps forward. The body aches, but the soul rejoices as we focus on the eternal glory of our Hope and His Kingdom come. Keeping you in prayer, & I pray for dreams that comfort ...especially Maxwell, that Jesus will give sweet dreams to his heart of his dearly loved father. In deepest Sympathy for your loss, Julie
Amay, Don and family Our deepest sympathy in the sudden passing of Paul. We are truly sorry for your loss. May God our Heavenly Father wrap His great arms of love around you and comfort you during this difficult time.
Dear Don and Amay: what a beautiful memorial! Paul is now in the presence of God in a place so beautiful, it makes everywhere on earth seem dull. He may have been here for just a short while, but the family he was blessed with in you both and in Tanya, Max and Mariella enabled him to experience more love than most people could hope for in a lifetime. While we cannot be there on Friday, know that we love you very much and continue to hold you up in prayer.
Words cannot begin to express our sorrow for your loss. May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you. You and your family are in our prayers.
Dear Tania and family, I'm so sorry that you have lost your precious brother. He sounds like such a beautiful human being, who made this world a better place. May precious memories of him comfort you, and help you navigate your way now, with him held closely in your heart. My heart grieves for you all.

Wishing comfort and peace in the knowledge that Paul is with God and offering prayers for those who will miss this wonderful dynamic man and loving father.
The shadow in the valley of the death of a son or daughter is particularly dark and so Don and Amay we hold you, oh so close, as you live through these days. May you keenly feel the presence of our loving Father. We did not know Paul but from the obituary he was a wonderful person. We pray for Maxwell at the loss of this very special father.

My heart goes out to your family & those closest to Paul. Paul was a dear friend of mine for 15 or so years & I cherished his bluntness, optimism, and forever drive. Will never be forgotten.
Mariella and Max, we're so sorry for your loss. Paul sounds like he was an amazing dad and all of his best qualities are sure to live on in your adorable son. Our thoughts are with you, and we send you all our love. Nicole and Geoff

Life is so unpredictable. So sorry.
Dear Don and Amay, Your sadness must be intense, your grief immobilizing at times. I will hold you and your family in prayer this week. Regretfully, I am unable to attend the service on the 17th. I know it will be a beautiful tribute to God's love which was so clearly manifest in Paul. God bless you with moments of peace as you journey through the coming weeks and months.
Speechless, busted-up, reeling to hear about the loss of your son Paul, my thoughts & prayers are with you & family
What a beautiful tribute to Paul. We carry you with love in our hearts and prayers.
Dear Amay and Family. I am so sorry to learn about your loss. I never met Paul but he sounds like an amazing person. May his soul rest in peace and may you all find comfort in God's Love. I'm praying for you. Blessings. Justyna Couto

Dear Don and Amay ~ so very sorry to hear this sad news and am holding all of your family in my heart and prayers. Many Blessings, Hugs and Love, Sharon
What a privilege it was for us to spend a week with Paul this past April. His love for Maxwell was indeed special. The two of them were so in sync. It was amazing. They cooked together, played together, danced together, worked together. Everything was a new adventure and learning experience. The trust and closeness they shared was a rare gift. We were blessed watching them interact at such a deep level.
Praise the Lord that Paul is in the loving arms of Jesus Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Matt 5:4 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 1 Thes 4:13 We are comforted to know that Paul is with the Lord. Praise God who comforts us in our sorrow.
So sorry to hear of Paul's sudden passing. My prayers are with you, Amay & Don. God bless you all. from Heather Z
What a wonderful man he was. We are sorry to hear of your sudden loss and think of you as you grieve.
This is a loving and thoughtful obituary for Paul. He will be missed. I wish you peace and strength now, and in the days to come. Much love.
We are stunned to learn in early September of Paul's passing. Our hope is that the many happy memories of this wonderful young man will anchor and buoy you all in months and years to come.
