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.

View from the bed


Here is a view from Paul's bed. We have read all of the cards and notes and are thankful. The nurse said, "most don't have that many cards. In fact almost no one does." Even today with all of the pain medication he notice that there was a new card added to the collection.

Thank you!

  2. Paul,

    Even though I don't know you well, I alway will remember you as someone who loves his family. I know how you would come and watch Nick run at his track meets. ( of course who wouldn't want to watch Nick run!) I know Brady considers him a great friend. Your lovely wife has always been a bright spot when I see her at Maranatha or in the grocery store. I know you love your family and boys and are proud of the young men they have become. I am praying that God will comfort you and give you and your family peace during this very difficult time.
