We will miss you, Uncle Paul. You will always remain in our hearts and live in our memories. I’m sure many others remember the days long ago when you didn’t go anywhere without your little dog, Lady, and how you cared for her like she were a child. We remember fall and winter days, visiting with you and Granny at your place, and you bringing out the horses to let us look and ride. We remember your hard work, helping so many others fix or improve their houses, and we remember the fun you had hunting and hosting the other hunters in the family. I will never forget your kindness to our mother, how she enjoyed spending time with you, and the tenderness you always showed for her. She loved you, and we all love you. Rest in peace.

Chuck, I am so sorry this happened, I miss you already. We had been friends for just under a year but I felt as if I knew you my entire life. You are one of the good ones. God Bless Chuck Hillman. Charlie

There isn’t enough words to express the sadness that not only I feel but all that knew you felt…my heart goes out to you his family and friends that knew him more than the rest of us….I do know the pain and sorrow that you all are feeling and I wouldn’t wish this on anyone…I will always treasure from the very first moment Chuck and I met until the very end…when he first got to the building he told me he didn’t feel welcomed…and as one of the first people that greeted him…I told him give it time and plenty will come around….they sure did and Chuck became one of the gang almost like a family in the building….I remember him coming down for breakfast and he would mainly sit right in front of me and I would be the one taking the money in morning…he always got me to laugh…remember Casino night we had here…what a night…I remember last year how he made my birthday and another persons birthday special….that is another thing that I will hold dear…there is so many memories that I and others will always treasure…he was definitely one of a kind…and he will surely be missed more than words can ever express…but please know he was well loved by many… I send my deepest sympathies and condolences from myself and all who knew him at the building he lived in… I know that the days, months, years, etc…will not be easy but I pray for God’s comfort upon you all and all that knew and loved him…please know that Chuck loved you all and that I know he is watching over you all and all who knew and loved him….to his daughter who was getting married… I Send a lot of hugs your way for that day…. I Do understand what you are feeling and what you will feel…both of my parents are gone…and I will be getting married…please know your dad lives on in you as he does all of us…and on your special day he in a sense is there with you…he is in your heart…..he loved you all so much…and he was looking forward to that day… Here is lyrics to a song… EDIT LYRICS SYNC LYRICSI have gone from site but I am waitingwaiting just beyond the rainbows endI’m happy in this place that I have come toBecause I’m here with my forever friendNow all your thoughts of me let them be joyfulof things we’ve done and happy times we’ve sharedso don’t be sad dear ones because I’ve left youPlease laugh and talk of me as if I’m there.Just look up in the sky I am the sunshineI’m the mist that rises on a summers mornI’m the gentle breeze that cools the autumn eveningWhen the birds sing in the tree’s I am there songThis journey I have made one day you’ll make itYou too will be with my forever friendIt’s then once more that we will be togetherI’ll meet you just beyond the rainbows endIt’s then once more that we will be togetherI’ll meet you just beyond the rainbows endYes I’m waiting just beyond the rainbows end.Those lyrics are of a song by Daniel O’Donnell …and song is called Beyond the Rainbow’s EndMuch love to you all from Michelle
