Paul's Corner

A terrible tragedy, to be sure. May your god bless you and yours and give you strength.

Sally C.

There really are no words adequate in this devastating tragedy, but I will keep you all and especially your friend in my thoughts and prayers and will ask for strength, comfort, peace and soul soothing for you all.

Please know your family are in our prayers and hearts. Let the angels guard and keep you.
I am a nurse, but this is the hardest thing in this life that we deal with.
God keep your loved one safe and close to your hearts.
Mrs. Leslie Van de Ven, RN, BA.

Paul--my prayers are with all of you.

God's love and peace be with this young mother and your whole family.

Melody

Unimaginable is right. God bless the mother and the child who suffered this horrible tragedy, and all the family who will need to be there for them.

Don't ask why....

Thoughts and prayers to the mother and to your family.

Paul, sending out prayer and love to all your family and relations.

You and your family are in my thoughts. I am truly sorry.

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and especially to this mother.

After seeing one of your movies, I decide to look into your site and read this input of yours.

The unthinkable happens to the nicest people. Somehow this is a fact.
Perhaps your friend, the mother of the baby, can find comfort in the bible and faith in God. Please let her read Revelations 21:1-5. There will be a time she will see her baby again. God will be with them both and they will never suffer again. Hoping this will help her now.

Dear Paul,

Our deepest sympathy is extended to you and your family.

Shalom and love,

Grandma Mil and Ellie

My heart goes out to the entire family, and my thoughts and love and empathy are yours.
The only thing I can think of is what was said at the terrible loss of another child, and when the mother was asked, which would be worse, to lose a child too soon, or never to have known her at all? Too often we think the other way, the child should have had decades of life ahead, like most of us get. And that would be the best we could hope for, but if the alternative to loss would be never to have known the joy for even a brief time, what would we choose?
hugs,
Sally
PS I hate to bring this up, but do they know for sure the baby drowned? She could have died from other causes, and the mother suffered a fit from the shock, not remembering when she came to.
PSS Please, Paul, if you can, let your relation know, she can go on. I have worked with two women who have lost children from accidents, one when her older son was accidently shot by his best friend hunting, the other when her husband ran over their 2 year old. I can only imagine the hell they went through; they have gone on, but they never forget the child they loved.

Thank you for being so honest about your life on a website. It helps everyone to know how hard life can be even for a person with such accomplishments. And for sharing about such an unimaginable event. I alreaady wrote a comment, but I wanted to tell you that there is a whole community of people here in California offering up their hearts and prayers for this Mother and child - across every denomination. The highest form of wisdom is kindness (The Talmud) Please know that everyone is sending their most heart felt sympathy to the family.

Leslie Van de Ven, RN, BA

I am keeping this mom and her family in my prayers, Paul...yours too.
