    Dear Family,
    So sorry for the loss of your Mother. She was a sweetheart. Remember when she worked at Horner Insurance. She sponsored me when I got out of school to become a Sigma Alpha Chi member. We shared some fun times back then with lots of other ladies. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless. Ron & Erilda Coleman

    Too many years ago, I was a paperboy in the neighborhood where Mr. and Mrs. Paul lived. No matter where the Paul’s saw me—on their front porch, at church, or on the Square, they were genuine, kind and generous. These are the people who helped build this country one little company at a time. Somewhere on my tool bench is an ice pick with the ‘Paul’ Coal and Oil logo, and I kinda remember a locomotive replica that Mr. Paul built and by the power of the Internet, I see that road locomotive is still operating in Frederick, Maryland. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Paul family.
