Paul A. Abate

To the Abate family,
I received word yesterday that Paul had passed away and my thoughts, prayers and sympathies are with you during this troubling time.

I met Paul through my aunt Adrian when I worked at APA with her for a while. Paul was a great man and I was deeply saddened to hear of his death.
What a great loss. May the peace of Christ be with you and comfort you through this. I will be praying for you all.

Madeline & Rick: Dick and I want to express our deepest sympathy on the loss of Paul. We remember him as such a loving young man. Our prayers are with you and your family during this time of separation. Linda & Dick Mott (formerly of Uncasville)
