Paul was a very sweet and special friend of mine. He always had a sweet little grin on his face when he came to the market. I sold him a pretty little dogwood tree a few years back at Good Hope Garden Center. He grew up with my husband Charlie Phillips and his brother Eddie Phillips. He will surely be missed and will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in peace my little buddy.
