Your family misses you / Monica Davis
Paul, I know your family misses you so much. My son was brutally murdered in May of 2004....he had only been 18 for 5 short weeks. I know you and my RJ must be good friends in heaven. God bless your family through all their suffering the loss of you. May God be with you all. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Paul, watch over your family and let them know your are still with them.

Thinking of you all / Connie (Aunt Connie) Greenawald (Aunt) I often think of Paul, but I can't think of him without thinking of you all - Mike, Patsy, Mikey, and Paul together. You came as a unit, and even when Mike & Patsy "fell in love all over again" after how many years of marriage?, and got all romantic on us, you were still happiest when you were all together and hanging out or doing something fun. You all even helped me with Fur Ball (and Jessie too), and so many other events at the Shelter. I loved having my family around, and Paul was so quiet and sweet - people automatically were drawn to him and would mention to me what a nice boy he was. It was hard not having him and Dad at Christmas, but we really enjoyed hearing/singing Paul's version of the 12 Days of Christmas, re-entitled The 12 Days of Hunting. Thinking of you with love, and missing our sweet, sweet Pauly.

Hey Paul / Joe Flanigan (Friend) Dear Paul, Obviously I'm not too blessed with computers, I tried to leave a message on your memorial sight and I only posted four words by accident. Well I gotta say its a little slow around here without ya. I decided to be like Timmy and fix my car up a bit, a bit being more like a lot. You prolly noticed how I'm writing a letter to you, I had this idea after Timmy left us, and it seems to help. I figured I'd write you one too since I miss you just as much. I usually explain all that I've been up to. I've been practicing dueling banjos on my banjo for you, I'll have it ready for you some day soon. Well the Flanigans miss you a lot, it was always nice having you around after Timmy died, and your presence was often comforting and even healing to our scarred family. We will forever miss you. Love, Joey
A Mother's Love / Patsy Vande Ven (Mom) Paul, I miss you so much. You were such a light in our lives that has been put out and plunged us into darkness. Somedays I don't know how I will go on without you, but your dad and brother need me too.
You know dad always teased you about being a "momma's" boy, but I cherished our times together. I just loved the fact that you like to go places with me and did not mind being seen with your mom. It was always easier for me to do my "appearances" as Mrs. Wisconsin with you by my side and taking pictures.
This last year had been so difficult for you and I was trying everything I knew to try to help you through it. I often feel like I should have done more, but I cannot think of more I could have done besides be by your side 24/7 (and I knew you did not want that). You were being forced to grow up too fast and deal with the cruelties of life, with the loss of Tim, Robin and eventually grandpa. You were so sensitive that these tradegdies were so difficult on you.
I will always miss you and love you. You have a very special place in my heart and that place hurts very much right now.
My Son / Mike (Dad) Vande Ven (Father) Thinking about Paul the first word that comes to mind is "Proud." I have always been so proud of Paul. He always made me feel so good about being a father. He never let me down. He always helped me with anything I asked, without complaint. I especially liked the way he would set me up with a joke or pull something on me. He laughed so loud when he put a rubber band on the sink sprayer and got me all wet.
I had so many hopes and dreams for him. I have a hard time imagining what my life will be like without him. I will forever have a pain in my heart. I miss my litltle buddy. I love you Paul
I miss my Pauly. / Mikey (Brother) Paul and I did so much together, it's hard to do anything without thinking of him. We would ride bikes, play video games, watch TV, play baseball, go swimming, play football, watch movies, have squirt gun fights, play basketball, wrestle, and just have a ton of fun.
One of the things Paul loved to do was play tetherball, and boy was he good. Whenever I would play with him, I would get beat. I think I won once out of probably 100 games. He could hit the ball correctly, change speeds, change heights, and even change directions with ease. His favorite thing to do would be to get a good volley going, then turn around, and smack the ball right at me. It would often hit me, and he would laugh like crazy.
I miss him so much. I just can't believe we will never head out to the diamonds to see if we could hit one over the fence, or play a game of FETCH (instead of HORSE) which he would change into FETCHERS when he was losing, or go four wheeling (he would never let me drive). I want him back more than anyone can imagine.
Hello to all / Deana Michael (friend of family ) I want to give Patsy,Mike and Mikey my deepest heart felt condolences for the loss of there Youngest son Paul. Patsy,I know how much Paul loved to watch thunderstorms and Tornadoes. Wow,he would have loved to watch the one we had this morning !! We had lightening so fearce It scared me right out of bed ! The hail was unreal !! I thought man,Paul would love this one !! Then I thought Dang,I hope the moon roof on the car is closed,lol. Take care dear friends,healing is a long and difficult process. I lost an infant brother when I was 8. I watched my mother struggle with depression for years. Paul would not want his mommy to sink. Be strong Patsy. Take time out for you. Love Deana
Hey Peanut / Patsy Vande Ven (Mom)
I miss you so much. I know you are the one that helped me get this new job. I am so excited. You know I need to get out of iod because it is making me worse no matter how much better I look or feel. It is taking its toll on my body. I think that is why I am losing so much weight because I just can't handle the stress they are putting me under. Plus the fact that I keep getting passed over for job opportunities. Because they know I am good at what I do they don't want me to move to any other job. But you know me and you know I need to make a change. I know all of this happened for a reason and so fast. All of a sudden this comes up Christina calls me I interview and get the job all within 4 days. This does not happen that fast even Christina was amazed and excited for me. Not only because she has a client but because she was really happy for me.
Now if you could please help Lisa to find something I would really appreciate it. I want to stay friends with Lisa Jean and Mary and I know with facebook I can do that.
I love you and think about you so very much. I am really happy about this new opportunity. I believe there is a reason this came up and I know you had something to do with it. Why else did I just decide to get my hair cut and styled on Monday Nikki gets me in right away on Weds. I get the interview on Thurs and have the job by Friday. Thank you so very much for giving me this. I know you decided this is what I need and made it happen. You know I need to move on and you are helping make it happen so I can move on. I will NEVER forget you!!!!
I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU EVERY DAY!!!! Close
Happy Birthday!! / Mom
Hey Sweet Boy
Happy Birthday!!! I can't believe you would be 23 today. I miss you so very much and love you even more. Today I thought so much of the day you were born how Mikey got to come up and see you after kindergarten and touch you in your oxygen tent. I didn't even get to hold you for almost 8 hours after you were born. I will never forget your beautiful cry you sounded just like a fawn and whenever I hear a fawn now I think about you.
We had so many happy birthdays with you. The 18 years we had with you were awesome. You were my best friend and my buddy. We did so many things together and you taught me so much. There are so many things that I wish you were here for but I know you are with me all the time. I felt your hugs at work today.
I will always love you and look forward to the day I can hug you again.
Love
Mom Close
Today is your Birthday. Twenty three years ago today I was able to see you for the first time. What an amazing 18 years we were able to share together. I would not give up one second for all the money in the world. You have shaped my life much more than you could know. You had a way about you that I have never saw in any other person. You inspired me to do things that I would not have normally done. You are a good kid. I am very thankful that we were able to share those wonderful 18 years. Thankyou for being my son. You are in my heart forvever Paul. I love you son.
Missing you / Mom (Mom)
Hey Pauly

I think about you all the time and the things you should be doing. You should be home from college right now working for the summer and having fun with your friends. I love you so much!! Close
