I was saddened to read of your struggles. You are such an inspiration to me as I am sure you are to many, many more like me. The gift of music you possess has blessed my life countless times. My thoughts and constant prayers will be with you. May the Lord continue to bless you and sustain you and your family.

Paul, you entered my life at a time when miracles needed to happen. Your music made my heart more peaceful when it was already at peace. The touch of the Master's hand is all we need. God bless you and your family

You are such a wonderful musician and person. I am so inspired by your music, as are my children. Thank you for being who you are and for keeping such a positive perspective on your condition. What a great example!

Paul, May God continue to bless you and your family. You are a great example of courage and humility. I served a mission with your father; knew him well and had much respect for him. As you know better than anyone else, you have great parents. Keep up the fight and my prayers are with you.

I have enjoyed the series of articles about Paul. He is an inspiration. I hope your next article will be the story of a successful heart transplant for him. May the family of his donor be filled with peace.

Paul ~ our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. ~ you are an inspiration to all that come across your path be it personally or via cyber space. As a mother of a child with CHD I feel an odd sense of connection. I look forward to the future when the mysteries of CHD's are solved and no more children are faced with it. I know you will be blessed with a heart very soon. We are praying with you

Paul is a very talented and thoughtful person. I admire him for his strength and courage. I have prayed for him and his family. The thoughts and prayers will continue for him and his family especially after hearing the tragic news of his brothers passing today. We Love You Paul and you have made this world a better place by being in it. You have an amazing family. Love, D. Yancey (mother of 6yr old Isaac with Hypoplastic Right Heart Etc..)

I am on Pandora and heard this beautiful music and had to see the artist. Upon my discovery it blessed me as I have a daughter with a congenital heart defect and identify and share your struggles. She is now on a pacemaker which helps, but still is not able to live as fully as the gifted ballerina she is. God's grace has been our sustenance and I thank you for your beautiful music. It speaks deeply and now I know why.
Excellent! | 6:20 p.m. Sept. 10, 2009
Paul we are so excited that you were able to get your heart on 9/9/09. May the Lord Bless you!
