SHMYR _ Paul
Born January 28, 1946, passed away September 2, 2004.
A finer man has not been seen
For a stronger man you could not ask
A smile on his face with every breath
And a fighter for life even to his last.
Time has passed but not his gift.
Our spirits Paul, will never lift.
Think of his struggle and his incredible fight.
His will to live, a candle burning so bright.
Our thoughts forever will stay with you.
In every word, every thought, everything we do.
Our lives forever touched, your memory we hold dear.
We'll never forget the Legend of Paul Shmyr.
Paul was loved so dearly and will never be forgotten!
