    Paul was my best friend since I moved to The Crossing three years ago. I've had a stroke and cannot talk, Paul was my voice. He was a very caring person and I will miss him. My condolences to his family.

    Paul Bollen family; I am very sorry I missed the funeral . Paul was a friend of mine and my family. He did so much for me as all the material he collected for our basketball teams from Ouachita. He and Harmon were good friends in Mena also as he was fighting this disease then. I can remember your folks so well, Lawrence and I had some good visits over time, I heard your Dad say serval times that there were no closed doors in his home unless changing clothes or using bathroom. You had very great parents that were tops in our community. My Prayers are with you and may God give you peace, None of them will ever be forgotten Doyle and Charlotte Cannon

    When someone we love dies, it leaves a hole in our hearts. This sorrow was felt by Jesus, Mary and Martha when Lazarus their brother died. Jesus said to Martha: “I am the resurrection and the life, He that exercises faith in me even though he dies, will come to life. Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” Then he proceeded to resurrect Lazarus and he promises to resurrect all those in the memorial tombs. Please read John 5:28,29 in your Bible and may this hope bring your family comfort.
