Bernadetter,
My husband Sean Rich talked so fondly of Paul so many times, and of how Paul helped him in various ways in the Navy. Paul really touched his heart. I really feel for you and your children right now and I am praying for strength and resilience for you all during this dark time.
Sincerely,
Kristin Rich

We are very sorry to hear of your loss. We don't know each other, except through our children. While the Lord doesn't always inculde us in his plan, He has used your husband as an instrument to touch others' lives. I want to thank you for this sacrifice and ask that God continually bless you and the children.

My heart aches at the loss of my friend, and your life partner, Paul. As the father of 5, I cannot imagine the sorrow that must be in your heart, and those of your kids. He will be a sore loss to the world, but his smile and spirit will never be forgotten. You guys are in my prayers.

Bernadette I am so sorry for your loss. I know words do little at times like this. I pray that God sends you down comfort and peace. I was telling my Dad how you were so natural holding my new born Jessica in the hospital. I was amazed. Oh Bernadette I wish there was something I could do for you now. I'll send many prayers. God bless you and the entire Ostrowski family.
