He moved to Manitoba, and soon after he had Harvey Paul, Marlene Paul, then years after, Tammy. Mary came into his blessed life.

In Tears
In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away,
You suffered much in silence, You fought so hard to stay.
You faced your task with courage, Your spirit did not bend,
But still you kept on fighting, Until the very end.
God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you, And whispered, “Come to Me.”
So when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful, free from pain,
We could not wish you back, To suffer that again.
It Broke Our Hearts To Lose You
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
Though your smile is gone forever,
And your hand we cannot touch,
We will never lose the memory,
Of one we loved so much.
Thanks for the loving years you gave us,
The happy times we shared,
We all pray that when you left us,
You knew how much we cared.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
