nobody looks forward to this kind of news. this is the epitomy (sp?) of things you really lothe hearing. heather, i'm so sorry about all of this. you know your sister and i are here for you for whatever. i didnt know the guy, but i know he was a brave soul fighting for our country, doing his part to keep us safe on the homeland. again, while this can be some heart breaking news to recieve, at least you know he's not suffering anymore. you know that whatever pain he was enduring has now ceased. and the void that was once known as "where's paul" can now be filled with his care for you. i'm sorry things didnt work out they way everyone was hoping, but at least he's no longer in the hands of those criminalistic maniacs. send his family our condolences.
