Dear Mark and Janet and families - our condolences on Uncle Paul's passing. I will always remember his quiet kind way and great smile. It had to be difficult to watch his recent decline but eased knowing now he can be at peace with Aunt Rose in heaven. It was my 3 night week-end to work at the hospital, sorry we weren't able to make it up.

Mark and Janet,
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers. I have fond memories of July 4th picnics at your house and playing in the caboose! Now your Mom and Dad can be together in heaven and enjoy each other's company again! Sorry we cannot be there to physically extend our condolences as I am out of town for a weekend conference.

Mark & Janet, our prayers are with you and your families! I pray for comfort and peace for you knowing that Uncle Paul is now with the Lord and with Aunt Rosie!

My condolences to Paul's family. We went through 12 grades of school together in Amherst. It was always a joy to see Rosie and him at our occasional class of 1943 reunion luncheons. Her death and his health decline were sad to observe. They both certainly have earned their heavenly reward, and they'll live on in the memories of those of us who knew and loved them.
