It was meeting Mr Garner at Ridgecrest that started our friendship. I remember going through the photograph book Mrs Garner made for Mr Garner, looking at events and people before I met him. Remembering his Air Force career, wedding, family and friends at gatherings. Mr Garner had a rich and full life before the Church brought us together. I will miss our visits together sharing communion and catching up. Thank you for letting me be part of your lives during these last years.
Thank you
So sorry May, you are in my prayers. He was a good man and I loved him and love you my friend

I remember ‘Unc’ Paul (as I used to address him) as a person full of good spirits and positive vibes. I considered him and Aunt May as my second parents and they did act as one. Looking back I get excited everytime he travels to the Philippines as he would always make sure that he’s able to spend time with us like going out to the shops and let me get what I want then dine out. It’s one of my childhood’s best experiences.
Unc Paul, thank you for leaving good memories. I appreciate you a lot. I pray that you’re happy and at peace wherever you are now. You’ll surely be missed. 🤍🕊️🙏🏼
