Paul's Story

God spent decades on my dad. When asked why he needed Jesus, he simply responded that he was going the wrong way. God was patient with him. He was going after his soul and he was saved not by anything he said or did, but by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. He died without any fear and is now standing in the presence of the one true God. We will all have to stand before God & give an account for our lives. Thanks to the victory of Jesus through the cross, my dad's sins were forgiven & I will see him again in paradise. Amen! In January 2011 Paul was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. Unfortunately on 3/9/2011 an MRI scan showed that the tumor has spread to his brain and is at stage 4 which is incurable. Paul passed away on April 21, 2011. This blog was meant to keep people updated and informed. The family appreciates all the prayers and support.

Out Side and Some Gospel Music

Today Paul got to spend some time outside! Also, a women who is a worship pastor and does music therapy came by Paul's room today. And of course he requested her to play some Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. She ended with one of dads favorite songs How Great Thou Art.

As the days go on we realize how much we miss dad being home. Mom was telling us that every morning for the past 36 years her and Paul would get up 30 minutes earlier than needed just to have coffee with one another.

    I tried singing for Paul yesterday, but nobody wanted me to. Thank you music therapist for singing for Paul. I bet she can't sing two toned like me. Ha ha

    Dear Karen,

    I just heard the news about Paul yesterday from Ray Jones, how got a call from TJ, Larry Tjaden. My name is Jim Duchow and worked with Paul for years with Amfac Drug and Whitmire Distribution.

    Words cannot say what you you and family are going through I just lost my mother last month.

    I know in my heart that God did not intend for Paul to go through this much pain, he will be coming home soon...and in a better place...

    I have not stopped thinking about the last time I saw the both of you in Hawaii, having dinner at Mama's Fish Camp in Maui.

    If there is anything I can do please let me know.
