A Thank You from Pam


In a spoof on his nickname, Paul "The Wall" Mathies once dropped a dime
in a Wall Drug telephone for a photograph that became one of Pam's favorites.
A week ago friends and family gathered to mourn the loss of a good friend, Paul "The Wall" Mathies at the home of Pam Vaughn. Her informal celebration of life was well-attended. Many life-long friends were there, but no guest book to gather addresses for follow-up acknowledgements. Today Pam asked us to send out the following message of appreciation to her guests and hopes readers will spread the words of gratitude. We happily oblige. Pam writes: 

To all of Paul's friends, I would like to express my gratitude for coming to our celebration of Paul's life. It is a loss to everyone and he will be missed. He was a man of few words but a friend to all who met him. His friendships were lifelong. He always loved getting together with friends. I know he would be pleased with the tribute you gave him.
I can't begin to express my gratitude to you for your thoughts, prayers and kind words. The food was wonderful and the flowers beautiful. Wayne, your gift will be used for a comfy chair in a screened porch on one of the lakes in Canada that he loved so much.
For those who were able to attend I thank you so very much. For those unable to attend I know your thoughts were present.

Thank you so very much!
Pam Vaughn
