Dear Paulsen family, Bernadette and I were very sad to hear of the passing of Paul, he was a very loving and giving man who will be missed my many. I enjoyed many hours working at the SVD panty with him, Victor and Chris. He was always quick with a joke. He loved telling blonde jokes to Bernadette which we all got a laugh out of. He is at peace now and with our Lord. We will all be reunited again in paradise. Love to all God Bless, Ron and Bernadette.
