    Having just moved to Florida, I am so sorry that I will be unable to honor Paul at his memorial. Paul was a wonderful person,and so very much like his amazing and equally wonderful mother, Georgette. Paul made a beautiful marble cutting board for me and every day I see it and use it, I am reminded of what a giving and caring person he was. Sending love and condolences to his entire family. Sincerely, Kathy Pellett
