Dear Claire,
Very sorry to hear of Pal's passing. Words are never a comfort during these times, but rejoice in the memories of a healthier Pal. I know he was a true believer, so right now he is at rest in the arms of the Eternal One.

To Claire and Patricia,
Jim and I want to offer our deepest sympathy at the passing of our dear Pal. His warmth, hugs, exuberance, and unselfish love lives on in the memories of all of us. We will miss him so very much--especially on St. Patrick's Day which was a day we all loved to celebrate together. Neponset Choral Society will miss Pal on our concert dates. As a greeter and program handler at the door of the auditorium, he was a dedicated worker, and we all looked forward to seeing him. He loved the music and was one of our best fans! To Claire we want to say, your care for Pal has been just amazing. Your gentleness and sweetness to him has been priceless. Your dedication has given him many years of happy life. Jim and I send our love. We will miss our dear Pal.

I am so very sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I did not know him personally but I remember seeing him at Neponset Choral Society concerts and events, always with a smile. I will be keeping Claire and the rest of her family in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

You will always be my sweetheart, Jennifer's "Uncle" Paul, and James' best pal. You are now at peace, Paul.

It has been a priviledge to have share our masses with Paul. I always enjoyed his smile. He was a truly example of love. We will miss him but know there is another angel watching over us.
