I only knew Paul from the carpet work he did for us at Wayne Automatic Fire Sprinklers for the past several years, but can say that he was very friendly to everyone, he always had a smile on his face and he was fun to talk with. My thoughts are with your family.

Mrs. Harrell, Nate, and Zach,
God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others...For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation.
2 Cor. 1:3-4; 5 & 6
This verse has always comforted me in times of trouble and it is in those times that I truly feel the presence of God holding and comforting me.
I don't know how or what you feel but I do know that in the lowest times God is always there. Just remember to talk to Him, cry to him, tell Him how you feel. He will be your Husband and your Father. He will hold on to you and keep you.
Nate,
You have a special place in my heart. Try to hold your head up and always remember your Dad is with you in your heart. Also, you have a heavenly Father who loves you just as much and more than your earthly father. Your Dad was very proud of you and loved you. Hold on to all of your memories. Write them, jar them, do what you can to keep him alive in your heart.
I love you w/ the love of Christ

Mary,
We met at the Huff Reunion last year. You and Paul are both such wonderful people. We wish you all the strength in the world. I hope they are right when they say that God has plan for everyone. May your memories of him carry you and your boys through this difficult time.

Mary, Nathan, and Zachary,

I was very sad to hear about Paul and my heart goes out to your family. He was such a great guy and was always friendly and cheerful the handful of times I got to hang out with you all when Rachel and Kyle would go over to your place. Mary, I am sure that Paul is in heaven watching over you and the boys and you have very much been in my thoughts since I got news of what happened. Nathan and Zach, your dad will always still be alive in your hearts and memories! Never give those up. It was very clear that he loved all of you very much and I hope that you can find some comfort in that. My prayers are with you all.
