May you be comforted through enduring faith and prayers as you mourn the loss of your loved one.

My heart goes out to you Marie and Richard - from our earliest conversations, I recall your telling me about your sons and how proud you both were of them - each with their own unique talents . It was obvious that LOVE was at the center of these emotions. Over the years, I felt that I had gotten to know you and along the way had the privilege of caring for you both. I am keeping you in my prayers and surrounding you with love . Be patient with yourselves , as you grieve and remember Paul - A mothers love is the closest thing to God's infinite love for each of His children for it is patient, and kind, endlessly giving and forgiving. Blessings for peace at this most painful time, Your friend, Clarice Moussalli, MD.

Although it may seem hard right now, it will be memories of the little things that help to soften a little the pain and bring the smiles back.

For many years the Park View teaching community followed Paul's progress through school and beyond. It was always a pleasure to hear about Paul and John. You could tell how proud his mother was. I am so sorry to hear this news and hope that Marie, Richard and John will keep close their many travels with and memories of Paul. We all knew his picture in the library phone office. I know he will be greatly missed.
Sincerely,
Ellen S. Bawiec
