We all feel terrible about Paul, he was always such a happy person, he brought smiles to the people who knew him. He's someone we'll never forget, he was a joy to know. There is nothing i could say to make it easier. You were wonderful parents. I never met anyone who had such patience and love. He had a wonderful life. Take care of yourselves.
Love,
Louise Fenimore

Paul was such a wonderful and joyous person to be around. He was at most of the various parties Julie attended. We have recently moved out of state to Nebraska and were so sorry to hear of your loss. May peace be with your family at this time. Know that Paul is smiling and sending kisses and prayers to everyone from heaven.

Dear God,

Paul is our angel that You sent to us to teach us things no one else could;
To show us how to love.
Paul taught us to love everyone.

Paul’s kindness and thoughtfulness toward others was infinite.
Paul showed us that we can be holy by just doing little acts of kindness.
Like a saint, Paul was humble, simple, and kind.

Sometimes, God, You test our love for others by sending people who look different;
Who talk in a way we do not always understand.
Paul showed us his heart each day through his unconditional love for us.

Paul’s purpose in life was to bring us to You to live in Heaven.
Paul followed Your will and I know You have rewarded him with eternal life.
You guided him and comforted him always.

Paul never complained.
He knew this is what You wanted.
You were calling Him home.

Paul left this world in peace with his family around him.
God, you answered my prayer to let Paul die a peaceful death.

I trust in you, God, and I know that You do all things for the good of myself and others.

With love,

Moira (age 13)
Paul’s Goddaughter

Our deepest sympathy to the Barsanti family. We will cherish the special times we spent with Paul at the beach, and particularly at The Salt Pond pool. Paul had a great sense of humor, was full of life and always praying for the intentions of others. Even though we didn't see him often, when we did, he brought joy to our lives. We will truly miss him.
