View all 15 ReflectionsIn October we did the Run for the Badge at Shelby Farms. Our team name was Paul’s Posse. We went around the lake to do the 5k. We had folks running,walking,biking,scootering and baby strolling! Rita and Tom participated along with Casey and 3 grandnephews Carson,Braylon and Macon. Mindy ran her 5k in Chattanooga. Justin and Vanessa came from Shelbyville with grandnieces Aliana and Harley. Cindy and I came up from Spring Tx. We shared family time together and shared our many memories of you! Which resulted in a lot of laughter. We miss you and look forward to doing the run in your honor again next year. Love you little brother.
