We are so sad to have lost our friend Paul. I don’t know who will try to aggravate me(Sari) at church now! (smile). I loved his input in Sabbath school, and his awesome children’s stories that all the adults wanted to hear at Westerville! Phil will miss his only opportunity for a fish fry! See you at the river Paul!
