Paul Bennett

It’s like trying to describe the beauty of the most wonderful thing God has ever given to us, the “Human Soul and Spirit.” My husband’s soul and spirit were and are powerful, indomitable, enduring and above all, EVERLASTING by GOD’S MIGHTY HAND.

He was and is a “FORCE OF NATURE” that can never be contained by the mind, any emotion or even death. He was/is a CHRIST LOVER and a student of the Word of God. He was loving, giving and generous in ways that were subtle, tender and kind. He was/is a multi-faceted man with a uniqueness that is rare in today’s world.

He was and is a “DIGNIFIED ANIMAL, ONE-OF-A-KIND and a RENAISSANCE MAN…
