SANDS TOWNSHIP, MI – Paul Pawlak, age 67, lost his battle with cancer, but won the war when Jesus called him home on Monday, February 8th. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me–the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of His return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to His appearing”. 2 Timothy 4:7-8
