Nancy, Maryanne, Mark and family,
The sorrow you feel is shared by many. In the short time I knew Paul, it was clear to me that he had the ability to touch the lives of all those around him without even trying. He was a wonderful and kind man who brought much happiness, many smiles, and a lot of laughs into my life, and I am certain into the lives of many others. I am grateful to have known him and I will miss him dearly.I can not express to you how sorry I am for your loss. My prayers are with you. Take comfort in remembering the love he had for you and in knowing that he is happy and at peace.
