Celebrating the life of a great husband, father, surfer, community leader

Thoughts after the paddle out

A river runs through all of us flowing to the sun
flowing through the heart 'til we are one.
There's a river of hope
there's a mountain of peace
there's an ocean of joy
waiting somewhere for me
if I trust in my God
not what I see but what I know
I will always find a river of hope.
(from River of Hope by Susan J. Paul)

Very nice Patty.Thank you for sharing that poem. I looked for you on the beach but didn't see you through the crowd of surfers, boards, etc. Love, Julie

Julie,

I was looking for you, too. I just couldn't find anyone I recognized ( or who recognized me). I guess it's been too many years. I am grateful that we have been able to catch up through this amazing website!

Love, Patty
