[Maine-birds] Message from Paul's wife

I forwarded your comments about Paul to his wife, Allison. This is her
message back below. I would be glad to forward any additional messages
to her. You can send them to me directly or to the list.

The words that have been said and written about Paul have touched my
heart. If you can, please let people know how very much it means to me.
And let them know that as the last three people left on Friday, Paul's
brother, his wife and daughter, we saw soaring high up over the house
going west a large beautiful hawk.
Allison
