Paul Hunter in Loving Memory

Hi

My name is Anand

Just like to pay my respect to Paul Hunter and his wife and family and all the snooker fans for their strength love for this amazing gifted player. I remember watching his victory in the masters championship coming back and never giving up and he inspired me and taught me an important lesson in life not to give up and keep fighting to the end even if the odds are against you.

I bought a new snooker cue a Riley Paul Hunter one to always remember him when I'm playing.I hope one day they find a cure for this medical problem that has taken the lives of many good loving people around the world including Paul

Eventually we will succeed in finding a cure if we never give up just like Paul did and we will win.

Peace and love to
Paul and his Family

Thinking of you

Dearest paul.I can't believe it's almost 2 half yrs since you were taken to heaven.Another young person has been taken too soon from cancer and she was the same age as you just 27.I've thought about you alot over the last few years especially everytime i sit don to watch snooker.I still miss watching you play and feel snooker is not quite the same without you.Love to your wife lindsey and your little girl evie rose she must be getting so big now and i bet she's daddy's little angel even though you can only watch her from above your star must be shining down on her and lindsey so bright.Miss you paul,love to lindsey and evie rose and all your friends and family xxx Annette.

TOUCHED

Have just read "Unbreakable" it was the most poignant book I have ever read.Pauls` spirit and Lindsey`s and I am sure Evie Roses` spirit are all unbreakable.

a cruel world

I casually picked up 'unbreakable' in a book shop thinking it would be a good read, however I wasn't aware that what I was about to read would truly break anyone's heart. The book is filled with many funny moments and points of laughter, however the dark times are heart rending, hence when you put the book down they stay with you. If anyone deserves a place in heaven Paul Hunter does and if anyone deserves a happy future his wife and daughter dO. Out of all the films and books I have read, nothin compares to Lindsey Hunter's book. Reading it was unbearable, so I can't begin to imagine how his wife recollected all her happy, sad and heartbreaking momories of Paul.

rest in peace Paul Hunter- you deserve a great place in heaven after your bad hand in life.
