Dear Gwen,
Earl and I were saddened to hear of Paul's death. We both have such fond memories of him; how he loved to tease, his stories, his sense of humor, his caring words, his encouraging nature and his faith in Jesus. We are praying that God give you what you need and that you feel His presence.
With love,
Earl and Roxanne Atkinson

Harris P. "Paul" Lambert family:

And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died, so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 NLT

We thank God that our salvation does not depend on what we did on this earth, but what Jesus did for us on the cross! It is for this reason that all believers in Christ will be reunited with Paul in heaven one day for ever and ever!!! Giving God all the Glory until we meet again my friend!
