We girls have lost one of the greatest loves we've ever known, our precious and perfect to us daddy, Paul Wesley Young. We are heartbroken unimaginably but not without hope. We KNOW where our daddy is, in Heaven for all eternity with Jesus. He was truly the best daddy. He loved us with everything he had. We both are who we are because God blessed us with him. He was the best father-in-law and loved his two son in laws as much as us girls. He was the best papa and all his grandchildren knew it from the moment we laid them in his arms until this very day. He was a father to the fatherless. Colby, you were his son in every sense of the word. His smile and laugh lit up our whole world because he was our world. EVERYONE loved him because everyone felt so loved by him. Every time we looked at our daddy we saw Jesus. He was a man of deep faith and unwavering integrity. He always kept his word. We could trust him and count on him. He loved cowboy boots and hats, fishing, camping, Yauhannah, building anything, gardening, drinking black coffee out of the same cup, worshipping Jesus with both his hands raised toward Heaven, and studying God's word and praying constantly. We are so lost without him, but we WILL see him again.
