Dear Rose, Paul, Wendy and children,
There just aren't enough kind words to express Paul and his wonderful nature. He's a man that will surely be missed by all. He had such a positive attitude and just loved his family to no end. How proud he was of you, Paul and all your accomplishments. You certainly made his life complete and your loving family, especially Wendy, just made it a whole lot better. It's hard to say good-bye to a good friend and someone we will never forget, but nothing is forever so just remember those great memories you have of him. Those are forever lasting and no one can take them away from you. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and we're here for you if you ever need anything.
Fondly, Arnold and June Busold, Latham,NY

Rosie

Your loss is shared by many friends who care and you're in our thoughts and hearts and in our every prayer.

May you find the courage to face tomorrow in the love that surrounds you today. It will be the little things that you will remember
the quiet moments, the smiles,
the laughter. And although it may
seem hard right now, it will be the memory of these little things
that help to push away the pain
and bring the smiles back again.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
