To the family of Paul Chu:

I work in Dr. Steven Arendt’s office as the referral coordinator. I have completed many referrals for Mr. Chu during his illness. I spoke with him many times on the phone and met him a couple of times in the office. Mr. Chu was one of my favorite patients – so cheery and kind even though he was going through a horrible illness. I will always remember him. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Denise Reed

I will remember Paul as being a very positive, gentle and caring person. He treated me as a friend and not just a client. I will always remember how positive a person he was and the description of his childlike enthusiasm is so true. I will miss his talented skills but I will miss him as a wonderful person and friend.

I met Paul in 1997 when I was recovering from an auto accident. My first thought was ‘who is this tiny, slight built man & how is he going to help my recovery with massage? It took less than a minute for me to realize that his spirit, enthusiasm, talent, skills and compassion were ennormous !!

I continued to see Paul after my recovery so that he could work on me from some other injuries, but mostly I continued to see him because he gave my life a huge shining light from his personality. We talked about everything. When he told me he was taking up the guitar & that he liked Hendrix, I mentioned to him that I was lucky enough to see a Hendrix show in 1968-9 in Memphis; he wanted to know all about it !

I will miss Paul very much. He brought tremendous Joy and Peace to me & for that I will forever be indebted to him, as will I forever be grateful.

To his family, I say thanks for sharing Paul with us & I pray for your loss. C.Tufts

Paul was a wonderful friend and lifegiving force. We met him at Salon Divas and immediately started using him as our only massure.

Brent and I would give each other 12 massages for Christmas so we got to know Paul very well. I remember that when I was pregnant with

both of my children he would lay his hands on my belly and beable to tell me from the energy if it was a boy or a girl. And he was 100% right.

One of my favorite memories is Paul beginging our sessions by playing and singing one of his new songs. He loved music and the positive

affect it had on himself and others. His classes were another topic he loved to share wtih friends. He was also a great source for where the

best sushi was to be found, he introduced us to Ben after one of our sessions and after that we shared several meals together. But Paul’s

greatest love was his family. He spent hours explaining what is was like to find out he was ill and to fall in love with each member of his

family all over again. He felt so blessed to have such wonderful, successful children and their accomplishments felt like his own. And Paul

loved and respected his wife more than anyother person I have ever known. Sometimes it was hard to believe that this person was real, he

died knowing that he was loved by all and was peacefull knowing that he would be with his Lord. I look forward to my time to meet with

Paul again.

May God Bless you and Keep you in your time of sorrow. Your Dad and Husband will always be with you. Just open yourself up to the love

and he will fill up your heart..

Sincerely,

Sallie and Brent Lumley
