The grieving widow has kept the memory of her dead husband alive for their two children - by creating a life-sized cardboard cut-out to keep in the family home.
The 6ft 1in cardboard cut-out of Paul stands in the family home he once shared with them.
The cut-out even made an appearance at his own funeral and attended his best friend's wedding weeks after his death.
The children have even dressed him up in a Santa outfit at Christmas and as Dracula on Halloween.
