I had the great privilege of knowing Paul Fritsch and will forever hold him dear in my heart. He always seemed happy to see me, greeting me with a huge, warm smile and a hug. I will remember him for his laughter, his positive attitude, his sincerity, and his upstanding moral character. He made the world a better place.

Paul was a great, great man. He taught us so much about living, and we can never forget him. No matter what life brought Paul, he smiled and continued the fight. Words can never express how much Paul meant to our community.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
