Sherry and Bud Dickinson
A faithful man has left our ranks. Paul was always at his post of duty taking care of his responsibilities. In fact, he took his responsibilites so seriously that it made everything he did seem very important.
When I told my son that Paul had passed away, he said, “He’s not crippled anymore”. Paul carried his handicaps without a word of complaint, but all of his burdens are gone now.
Paul was a part of our church family for many years. It has not been the same, since he got sick and hasn’t been at church.
We miss Paul and always will.
Sincerely,
Sherry and Bud Dickinson
