To all of Paul and Bonnie's Family:
I am so sorry to hear that Paul passed away. My only memories of him are from when I was very young, but I remember him being a happy, smiling man. I have alot of very old pictures of him back in Milwaukee that my dad took. He looked like he enjoyed life much. May God be with you at this difficult time.

Over the last 3 years, it has been great to have renewed family ties with Paul throught the family reunion. It was great seeing he and Bonnie in 2006 at the family reunion in Pennsylvania. He and his family have been in our prayers through this trying time.

Dad. I am sorry for being greedy. My greed is to have you here for A while longer. To gather a few more memories of spending time together. I know we probably did not get to spend enough time together when I was getting older, I was hoping to in the future, I am going to miss the hours of talking to you that we have had over the past couple of years and I really do miss you, and am having a hard time dealing with it, But of the many things you taught me I will try. I love you DAD

OUr hearts and prayers go out to your family during this difficult time.
I work with Joe and was unable to attend but would like to extend our deepest sympathy to your family.

Our Deepest sympathy goes out to all of you during this difficult time. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and the angels are watching over you all. Please read one of my favorite poems and know that you are and never will be alone. Rejoice in the days you had and remember all the good times do not dwell on the sad, it is a new beginning not an ending.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all what God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
