In Loving Memory
I would like to offer my condolences and prayers to the family of Paul Yribar.
Dear Judy, much love from our family to yours. Paul was a certifiable gem - treasured, valued, appreciated for the person he was. Recalling many chats I had with him over the years while conducting formal funeral services at St. Ann's Church, among other places. Always enjoyed his company, conversation, insight. Always looked forward to seeing Paul, visiting, exchanging thoughts, ideas, 'pearls of wisdom'. How blessed you were to have had him in your life for so many years. And how privileged I was to have had shared his company. Thinking of you all on this day.
My heart aches...A wonderful friend now just a precious and beautiful memory .. I thank God and Jesus for the time I had with such a great and wonderful person who always had even during the most trying of days, the Sun shining brightly around him all the time...

Judy, I am so sorry you lost Paul. I always thought the world of him. He was so kind and had a great smile. I remember his great attitude when he was struggling with the cancer. I was so grateful he beat that. My love and prayers, nora
Judy, I am so sorry to have heard about Paul's passing. I truly loved our little visit I think it was a two years ago, chatting with you both of you brought back happy memories. You and Paul put up with a lot especially with Cristy and I doing some crazy things but what fun memories they are that I will cherish forever. I also, loved working with Paul at Ramras we had so much fun there. What a great High School job that was. He was a truly amazing person. Love you all Judy, Cristy and Nikki...May Paul RIP . Fly high with the Angels sweet Paul...until we all meet again....XOXO
Dear Judy and fa!mily, We were shocked to hear from Rita about Paul's passing. We so enjoyed our lunch last fall. Paul and my brother, Ron, were friends from high school and that is how I came to be part of the Yribar family. My mom used to call him "Paulus" and he was the one who accidentally broke my front tooth when I was 16! I spent many happy years enjoying Sunday chicken dinner and even transporting Paul back to Hill AFB on occasion when he was stationed there. We lost touch until I discovered that he married a former co-worker of mine from Prudential Insurance Co. - Judy. What a fun discovery that was and a chance to reconnect with both Judy and Paul. Much, much love to you and your family, Judy. We'll keep in touch.
Dearest Judy, I am so sorry to hear of Paul's unexpected passing. I know he brought much joy & happiness into your life & has stood by your side through some of the most difficult days of your life, the passing of you dear son, Kelly. Doesn't seem fair that you've lost them both. It has been 5+ years since I lost Lynn & I still miss him each & every day. Know that your precious memories are always there to help you through. May God bless you & your family at this difficult time. I Miss you!
