He acted just like me and always kept me on my toes, bringing so much joy into my life. Losing him so suddenly has left a hole in my heart that can never be filled.<\/p>\n\u201cPaul was a people person \u2014\u00a0he had his flaws, but his heart was big. Everywhere he went, he made all types of friends,\u201d she continued. \u201cIf you were ever sad or feeling down, he would lift you up and give you hope. My baby was truly a special kind.\u201d<\/p>\n
