I have just received a beautiful card for Paul with very fond memories from his friend Clair, which I will take to Paul's spot when I next visit. I have added Clair's message to Paul's "Thoughts" link. Clair has also sent photos of Paul and Tshequa, taken when she was a baby. Paul will be especially missed at Christmas time when family and friends are together. I am sure that many will think fondly of Paul on Christmas Day when glasses are raised to absent friends. Christmas memories of a dear friend: Life sometimes takes a turn that we just cannot understand And suddenly cuts short the hopes and dreams we'd planned And losing someone special is so very hard to take If hearts were made of glass I know that mine would surely break Now Christmas with its festive fun just doesn't seem the same How can it when I know I'll never see your smile again You had to go for it was time to take your final bow My comfort comes from knowing you're at peace and happpy now
