We met Betty and Paul as assigned "friendly visitors" and quickly grew to love them as friends. We enjoyed the stories, day trips, and treats. With grateful hearts we will remember Paul for his gentle good humor. Thank you, Betty, for your infectious good mood and your ministry of kindness. May others now lift you up in this time of sorrow.
Betty, sorry to read about Paul. We know it has been a strain on all of you, but he now is in a better place. Our prayers are for you.
Betty and family.
Oh how I loved spending time with you all on the farm. Paul was such a kind man. And a fine example of a loving husband, father and friend.
I feel so blessed to know you guys. And to have so many amazing childhood memories involving you all.
I will always remember the huge candy filed panty hose eggs that Betty would collect/save for us all.
It was always an adventure to go to the USDA with Paul. I have always admired him.
Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I love you guys.

Betty and family,
My heartfelt sympathies to you all on the loss of your husband, dad, grandpa, etc.
I knew Paul and Betty thru Mary Greeley's primetime alive educational programs and thru the parkinson's support group.
Paul was always so lively; great questions, an infectious smile, and a pleasure to be around.
I didn't know he was a vet medicine dr! He was so humble.
When you miss Paul the most, put on a video of him ... it's great hearing his voice/laughter and watching his mannerisms and gestures.
MAKE COPIES; file away original in safe place so it's not worn out from playing over and over.
May God help you now and in the days, months, and years ahead.
RIP PAUL ;) They are going to love your wonderful sense of humor in heaven!
We knew Paul Beard to be a kind, quick witted, intelligent gentleman, and dear friend. We delighted in the "dynamic duo" that he and Betty created in their lives together. We will miss you Paul! Our earthly loss is heavens victory!
