My wife met Paul and his beloved Missy at Kirby Park, and then he started coming to our hospital for Missy's care. Over the years he became like family, and all our staff enjoyed his visits and his wry sense of humor. We remember him sitting with Missy, rosary in hand, as Missy passed. He gave us loads of flower bulbs which we planted at the hospital and refer to the area as Paul and Missy's flower patch. We hope he and Missy are together again.
