Hi Dolores, this is meant for you and the family. My heart goes out to you at this time. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. When you said the Lord needed Him more that told me of your unshakeable faith. I would love to come Friday, but I may have to cut out early because I have a transport from Ephrata at 12noon. My work is so demanding, but it's All For His Glory. May the steadfast love and grace of God keep you in His care and know that you're in my thoughts. Our prayers are initiated in our hearts and the Holy Spirit speaks through us even when nothing is said. Isn't that amazing. I love you all and really hope we can spend some time together. Life is really a precious gift and not to be taken for granted. He didn't suffer and that's wonderful, but to those left behind it's painful. When I see you I will give you a big hug. I know Paul was a man of faith. He is now in the Fathers presence. "To live is Christ and to die is gain" We can never lose in Christ. Isn't that awesome. I'll leave you with this. The verse that will be inscribed on my tombstone when I die is Romans 8:28 "All things work together for good to those who love God and are the called according to His purpose" Let God, family, and friends comfort you. My sister lost her husband last year. He was only 63. Time will help to ease the pain. The Christian life can be so painful, but so very worth it. God truly bless you all.

Message from Emma [Zimmerman] Wood Ocala, FL

Prayers for family. May God grant you all the strength to carry on through this difficult time. I remember going to school with Paul at Pleasant Hill near Akron. Mark was a grade ahead of me and Paul one grade after me. I also remember Anna [RIP] and Ruth, who were in my brothers' classes, Anna in Henry's class and Ruth was either in Elmer's class, or the class between Elmer and Henry Zimmerman.
