Dear Paul and Family
No words Paul can express the loss of someone you spent virtually your entire life with. So many memories that will never fade away with the passage of time and hope will bring you some comfort in the days and weeks and years ahead.
Highland Park Lawn Bowling Club is like a second family and your loss is our loss. You and Elaine took up lawn bowling and became very good and were an integral part of the club always ready and willing to lend a helping hand when asked. That is what I call Family.
To you Paul and the entire family my sincere sympathy on your loss.
