Thank you for sharing - here are the lyrics.
Eternal Father, Strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bid'st the mighty Ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to thee, for those in peril on the sea.
Eternal Father, grant, we pray To all Marines, both night and day, The courage, honor, strength, and skill Their land to serve, thy law fulfill; Be thou the shield forevermore From every peril to the Corps.
Amen

Maybe Ann can rest now and have some peace in
knowing he is at rest and isn't suffering any longer.
Goodbye my friend...

Dog Nabbed It, I thought I was over crying for Paul! I will never forget him, his willingness to help a "greenie" miles away, for his technical advice and his all around level headedness. Surely after God made Paul, he destroyed the mold! Good Bye, dear friend untill we are joined again in the future.

Bless you for posting this, Sylvia. It allows us to have
our own memorial service, via the internet. I am still awed by Paul's strength, wisdom & humility. The seeds he planted among us will live on. It's been an honor & privilege to have known him through the forums. I know he has his eternal rest now.

Thanks Marilyn I was unsure whether to post it or not - but after thinking it over I thought it may bring some "closure".
Ann is doing fine. We talk 4 or 5 times a day (I always wait for her to call me, I feel it is better that way). Mike, her brother, is with her. He flew in from Ohio as soon as Ann called him last Thursday night. He has to fly back on Sunday as he has an appointment he can't miss on Monday, but he is flying right back on Monday after his appointment and will be with Ann as long as she needs him.

I'm glad to hear there's someone there with Ann to help her
through this difficult time. I believe their daughters are in NH, right?
