So sad,God Bless. That’s the cross he made for me. We’re right across the street from them. Take care to the whole family.🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
So sorry for your loss. Sending our prayers to the family.
Paul was such an inspiration! He assembled the cross in our church sanctuary and also our home. He took great delight in making crosses and freely gave them to everyone who wanted them. I am comforted that he is with the Lord, and praying for the Papove family.
Dear Randy, Darlene, Lil and families, Our hearts were broken to hear of Uncle Paul’s passing. Your folks always showed such kindness and hospitality to us as well as our kids Andy and Quintin who stayed with them when passing through Kelowna while on tour with their bands. Our sincere condolences to you all and especially Auntie Malanya. Our hearts are with you all in this very sad time of loss. We really appreciated the beautiful service this afternoon. with love, Lucille, Ernie and family
Sorry to hear that your father passed. He is in heaven now with the lord.
