The first time I met Bro. Swafford, I was five when my Dad began to pastor in Batesville. He was always willing to help no matter what was going on. I then was able to go to church with him again as an adult. Bro. Swafford had the same sweet, caring spirit throughout the years. I loved hearing him sing and play the guitar. Myself and the rest of the Threat family will continue to pray for each of the family. We send loads of love to each of you.

Paul was a great brother-in-law and will be missed. We loved hearing him play the guitar and sing. He always made everyone welcome at his home. Fly high and dance around the throne for us. Until we meet again.
