Dearest Shirley,

I don&t know if you remember us, but we&re the two daughters of Dorothy Scruggs. Our mother and us girls grew to care so much for you and your husband Paul. We always looked forward to visiting while you and Mom received chemo at Dr. D&s office. Paul was such an onery, sweet, fun-loving person to be around.
We&re so very sorry to hear of your loss. We all know that our loved ones are in a place much nicer than where we currently are, but we still miss the person we loved so much.
Please accept our deepest sympathy. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
God Bless,
JoDel Scruggs-List and Dixie Thomas

In the early 70s I was a young forman of a concrete crew for Dahnke Building Services. When I would call a concrete order in, Paul was always a plesent and helpful voice. I did&nt know what he look like or even his last name but I knew when I called he would always treat me like a friend. When he went to Frankfort I would stop in and visit with him and always have a nice conversation.

A good friend

Paul, I know words cannot express everything that you meant to Jake, but please know that he thinks there was no greater man than you. You are greatly missed by him and all of us and it deeply saddens me that some of our children will not remember you. We will keep your memory alive and you will always be in our hearts.
Our deepest love to you and Shirley,
Jacob, Amy, Macey, Isaac, Nolan, and baby-to-be
