I am sorry for your loss. My son, Jeremy, lived with Paul at the Yellowstone Group Home. I have always said that these special people are God's angels.

Dean & Gloria,
I was saddened when I read the obituaries of the passing of your son. I send my condolenses to you. Perhaps you won't remember who I am. My mother Donna Case just passed away on January 30, 2008. Her mother was Ollie Payne, a sister to your Dad Harley House. That makes us cousins. I can remember seeing you Dean at family reunions for Grandma House when we were children. I hope that perhaps we could get in touch sometime to share genealogy etc. My address is 3915 First St. Idaho Falls, ID 83401 and my phone number is 523-1895. Again, I am saddened to hear of the loss of your son.
Sincerely,
Becky (Case) Pickett

Listen With Your Heart
Memories are a treasure
Time cannot take away…
So may you be surrounded
By happy ones today…
May all the love and tenderness
Of special years well spent
Come back today to fill your heart
With beauty and content…
And may you walk down MEMORY LANE
And meet the one you love
For while you cannot see him
He’ll be watching from above…
And if you trust you’re dreaming
Your faith will make it true…
And if you listen with your heart
He’ll come and be with you…
So for his sake be happy
And show him that his love
Has proven strong and big enough
To reach down from above…
And you will never walk alone
When Memory’s Door swings wide…
For you’ll find that you’re dear One.
Is always by your side.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Paul when he was at the Fox Hollow Home.
I was just asking a former co-worker about Paul on Sunday. I have missed him, since I left there. I enjoyed working with Paul. May God give you peace & healing in the loss of your son & brother.

I am so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I was his teacher in the Adult Primary for 4 years. He was a good buddy of mine. He was a choice soul and would do anything for anyone. He will be missed. His favorite saying for me was "macaroni and cheese".

We were saddened to hear of Paul's passing. Paul stayed with us for a short period of time in 1980. We have often looked back on that experience with joy. Having him in our home for that short time was an experience that we have cherished. Please accept our sincere sympathy in your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
