I'm sure many of you have played with Pakara52/willie2trees at one time or another.
He is a moderator over at Blue Lizard Forum.
Many participated in fundraisers for him and his wife, Kate, when she was battling cancer.
It is with deepest sympathy that I report that his wife passed away in his arms on Saturday April 5, 2008.
Maximum Poker League staff wish to pass on our most heartfelt sympathy in this time of sadness.
Paul and his family are in our hearts and prayers.
We pray that he finds his way through the darkness and grabs a hold of all the thoughts and prayers that so many are sending his way.
Please take a moment and say a prayer for Paul and Kate.
Here is a special poem that Chips from PPUS found that I would like to share....
Good-bye to Your Partner in Love
It is so hard to say Good-bye.
The tears pour forth, as we all cry
We want to see that face, that smile.
We won't be ready, for a while
To say Good-bye to one we knew
Who lived and loved and laughed so true.
We realize a broken heart
Is there inside you and: Apart
From all the things, we do not say
We wanted you to know today
That your love was a gentle kind
Of tenderness. So hard to find.
And though we may not say much more
Outside that giant hardwood door,
For it would cause more tears to flow,
We still wanted you to know:
We say good-bye to your Partner in Love...
And pray God saves your place....above.

There are a couple forums that are uniting to get some fundraisers set-up for Paul to help with the medical and funeral expenses.
Please keep your ears open and be sure to support a fellow poker player in need.
They are working on tournaments on Bodog and Cake right now.

God bless you Kate, may you rest in peace and fly with the angels!
I will post details on the fundraising tournies as they become available.
