February 10, 2010 Paul van der Sloot Dies

A good man is suddenly taken from us!

It is with a great deal of personal sadness I post about the passing of Paul van der Sloot. There are no words that can be written here about the depths I feel about his sudden premature exit from our world. He was truly one of the finest men I have ever known. He had a quiet strength of character and presence that very few people are blessed with. He was an amazing husband, father and friend.

Anyone who knew him will feel this loss as a very significant event in their lives. I still am in a total state of disbelief and feel Paul was taken far too early. He still had so many wonderful family years left to give as a father and husband. I grieve with Anita, Val, Sebas and yes for Joran because I know the pain each and everyone of them is going through right now. This is a very very sad day. I was fortunate to be blessed knowing Paul He.was one of a kind and a very dear friend. Rest in Peace Paul as you were loved by many!
