Dear Brother Paul,
I remember the many summers with mom and dad in Newington N.H. at ole mans Widden's cottage. Mother cooking up a storm for all of us and our friends. Dad playing baseball out in the cow pasture with the boys. Those were the good ole days. We have pleasant memories. I'll never forget the trip to Hawaii with you and Philly and our annual trips to W. Yarmouth to visit with you and Phyllis and brother Mel and Marie along with Sister Dot. Miss you all. Till we meet again.
Love your little sister Babe

Dear Uncle Paul, it seems like you were always there ... you and Aunt Wissa and the ever-present "Pal." My earliest memory was when I was five years old and you and Aunt Phyllis took me to a Veterans Club where I sang Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeeer and you all cheered. To all the good memories .... running the fresh-picked corn from your garden into the waiting pot up at the cottage in Rye, NH ... the trips to the Arlington Res ... to the wonderful beach times down the Cape. You will be forever missed. I know your sisters and brothers were waiting with open arms and you are with your beloved Phyllis. Love, Evelyn
