Jean I am sorry to hear about Paul. If there is anything I can do please let me know. Paul was a good man and I believe that he knew at least half the people in Asheville. He always had a smile for everyone. It’s so hard losing our spouse. It leaves a hole in our heart but we know one day we will be united for eternity. May God bless you during your time of loss and always.
I am so grateful for Uncle Paul and the many members of our Sherlin family. We were blessed to experience his love and grace over the many years. He touched our lives in many ways that have shaped us for the rest of our lives. Though I greatly miss him I am grateful he left a legacy of loyalty and that today he rejoices in glory. Dad (Bill Sherlin, the youngest brother) and Paul now join together again in glory to continue their heavenly journey along with the many other family members that rejoice in heaven. To my entire Sherlin family I send you my love and sincere condolences as we grieve together over a painful loss.
Jean, My condolences to you and your family in your time of mourning for the loss of your husband. Time heals all wounds but it is easier knowing that he is in his heavenly home.
Jean, know that we are thinking about you and the family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this time. I not only worked with Paul for many years but he, also, helped me get my job at Southern. He was not only a fellow worker but a special friend as well. May God’s peace surround you.
Dear Jean, I am very sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. As a fellow widow, I am very sympathetic to your and your family’s loss. My thoughts will be with you in the coming days.
Jean, so sorry. Prayers and hugs to you and your family….
Anthony and family I am so very sorry for your loss. I will be keeping you all in my prayers.
To my Aunt Jean and Paul’s family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Paul was a good man, good husband and father and he will be missed. Our hearts are with all of you. Love, Roger and Linda Blankenship,
Sorry that I couldn’t attend Paul’s services. I worked with him for a long time at Southern Concrete from Jan. 1983 till he retired, we didn’t always see eye to eye but he always treated me good, I hated to see him leave I learned a lot from him and Charlie. I retired in 2012 things were just changing too much, PRAYING FOR THE FAMILY
Sorry for your loss, all the Sherlin family will be in my thought and prayer. My Mother ( Kathleen ) and Majorie was sisters. Paul was a very great person. He was good to every one . Just a special person. I know he will be missed.
Sorry for your loss ,he was good friend and will be missed , I ran around with Charles when we were teenagers God bless his loved ones ,family & friends.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you ,Gloria Latocha and Cheryl Head.
