I have never gotten over that day, and don't think I ever will.........
To paul's Faimly, I know so much of paul's true feelings an thoughts he would share with me about you, and not that you need to hear this from me, but he loved you all so, so much! Especially to Big Paul,all he ever cared about is what you thought about him. He admired you,and would often quote things you would tell him as he grew up.No matter how much you butted heads, God that kid thought the world of you!!!!Emma an Leah theres no words to even say how much your dad loved you, to "infinity and beyond" (paulies words)Maureen an I miss you girls very much an we are so happy that you have grown up to be such beutiful an happy young girls!Your dad is looking down and he is so proud of his little girls!!!I've visted this site many times and have wanted to write something, just couldnt find the words to exspress how much I miss you paul........

Paulie-
I still can't believe you're not here with us and there is not a day that goes by where we arn't thinking of you. You were a great addition to our family & you were always so happy and there to put a smile on someone's face when they needed it. We miss you so much but we know you're watching down on us making sure we're doing okay. Thanks for everything. See you soon.

Thinking of Paulie recently, & remembering some good times.
I hadn't seen much of him since high school, but he was always so sweet & lots of fun. I took him to my senior prom, actually he was my sympathy date! When we got the prom pictures back, someone pointed out to me his shoes. He had a traditional black tux with dirty white woven shoes!! I can't believe I didn't notice that night. Everytime I see that picture, it cracks me up.
Thanks for some good memories Paulie "I can see your heart beat" McWhinnie.
Love,
Karen Cedrone xo

Happy New Year everyone.
To Paulie,
Tim says hello, he loves you and says he's working the blackjack tables, and rolling the dice for you every chance he gets. He hopes you look out for him up there and put in a good word to the "Big Guy" in charge. We love you and miss you!!

19 Years ago today my mother passed away from cancer. Paulie you were the first person to come over and comfort me. You stayed with me all day and of course managed to make me laugh. You brought to the mall and MADE me eat TacoBell. Paulie Wog, I never forgot that and never will! Love and Miss you oxoxoxo

When I think about Paulie, I often wonder if he ever knew how much he was worth to all of us who frequent this site. He was such a loyal person with so many great qualities, and he was so handsome and charismatic. He was nice to everyone, even people who weren't very nice people themselves....I guess I just miss him, and wish I could tell him how much he meant to me. But I think he knows.

Paul-
You never know how much you helped me, even during very difficult times for both me and you. No matter how down and out we both seemed at times, you always wanted to protect me and continued to call me "a smart girl" even when I was acting anything but. I never stop thinking of you, and sometimes can't believe you are not here anymore. You and Michael are with me forever and I think of you both everyday. I picture the two of you laughing away, feeling no fear, just pure and innocent happiness. And sometimes when I listen closely, I think I can hear that.

Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
I believe that Paulie is in Heaven looking upon all of his loved ones. I think about him all the time, because in the five or so years that I knew Paulie, he touched my life and my children's. And did so much for our family, just by being a friend and being there to rescue us in hard times. He spread his love and laughter all around, and I'm so glad I knew him.

The angels are always near, to whisper to those who are grieving, that their loved ones are safe in the hands of God. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

I must have read this guest book 1,000 times and always thought i wrote something. The feeling i have over a year later as i express my sympathy to the whole Mcwhinnie family is no different than it was when Paulie first passed. He was one of a kind, and not being as close to him as I know many other people where, I think about him all the time, So I can only imagine how often the people closest to him think about him. To think about Paulie puts a smile on my face, and makes my day. We are all very lucky to have such wonderful memories of Paulie!!!

"Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away to the next room, I am I and you are you, Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are, Call me by my old familiar name, Speak to me in the easy way which you always used, Put no difference into your tone, Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow, Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together, Play, smile, think of me, Pray for me, Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, Let it be spoken without effect, Without the trace of a shadow on it, Life means all that it ever meant, It is the same that it ever was, There is absolute unbroken continuity, Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, For an interval, Somewhere, Very near, Just around the corner, All is well." Written by Henry Scott Holland.

January 10, 2007
When God calls children to dwell with him above,
We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of his love.
For no heartache compares with the death of a child,
Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold,
So he picks a rosebud, before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so he takes but few,
To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "goodbye".
So when a child departs, we who are left behind.
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are just too hard to find.
Paulie-- you are sadly missed! AKH

Paulie,
Can not believe it has been one year. There is not a day that goes by that we do not think of you. I miss you as a friend and as a brother in law. You are one of the best people I have ever known, and there will be a empty space in my heart forver. It makes me so sad that Sean, Liam and Gavin will not get to know their Uncle Paulie the way we all did. Through stories and home movies they will get the know how great of a person you are. You will be in their hearts forever.
Watch over and protect your family. I hope you have found happiness up there in heaven. You will be forever missed.
Love and Miss you forver,
Brianne

It has been a year since you have been gone, and everyday we all think about you. It is so hard to go a day without you here. This year was exceptionally hard because we had our first Christmas with out you. Your mom and dad were definitely hurting very much but didn’t show it so that everyone else could be happy. We all went to the cemetery yesterday and it was very hard. We said a prayer to you and I hope you heard us because I think everyone needs to know that a part of you is still with us. I hope you are because that means you are watching over us and making sure that everyone is safe. Auntie and Uncle Paul are going down to Florida for 3 weeks and I think that will be good for them to get away for a while and just have fun and worry about the Kaluha and the cards and whose betting what. They miss you very much and we can all see that, but we hope that they can soon give up a little of there pain even though it is so hard for them I hate to see them hurting like that it just brakes my heart. I hope you are doing okay up there and are winning a lot of money and eating a lot of nana’s meatballs. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH!

Wow.... A year has passed and it is still hard to believe that he is gone. I keep thinking that my phone is going to ring and he is going to be on the other end giving me a hard time about something. Anyone who knew us would tell you that we could argue over just about anything..... We did share some good times though.... and two beautiful children. Leah and Emma are laying on the couch now and I am watching them thinking about how lucky I am to have them. Thanks Paulie. Hope you are happy where you are.

P,
There ain't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. You were the eyes in the back of my head. You were my best friend, and there's nobody else out there like you. You were one of a kind kid. I may not have ever said these things to you but I know for sure you always knew what I was thinking, and likewise.
R.I.P. I hope the blackjack table is treating you well up there, cause it's not doin too good for me down here.... ha ha

Hey Paulie,
It's the day after x-Mas and I was thinking of you and remembering how you helped make last years x-mas for Erin, Molly and myself so special. Especially how you and T came to the apartment and surprised us with the Christmas tree. Also on X-Mas eve you were with us listening to Mariah Carey. The funniest part was when you were dancing with the girls, and broke out with the Running Man!!!! That was so funny. We think of you all the time, and miss you so much. So, Merry Christmas to you up there in Heaven looking down on all your loved ones. T bought you a nice Polo hoodie foe X-mas. You'd love it.
Love,
Maryann, Erin and Molly

Thinking about you and your family during the holidays. Even though it has been years since the last time I saw you, I still can't believe you are gone. I think about you often- I will always remember your smile and your contagious laugh. You have left a beautiful legacy in your two daughters. You should be very proud.

I can't believe it has been over 4 months since Paulie past away. I think about him a lot these days and I find myself checking this website quite a bit. I hope you (Janet, Paul, and the rest of the family) are all doing well. I hear you have 2 weddings coming up. Congratulations to both couples!
Leah and Emma are doing well. They just finished spring soccer and have started softball. Swim team starts in June and then Emma wants to cheer for football in August (Leah wants no part of that!). Then fall soccer starts and before we know it we are into basketball season again! I am not a mother, I am a taxi service (but happy to do it)!
They are also both doing well in school. Leah was just selected to join a class for the academically gifted. We are very proud of her! Emma is also at the top of her class and I suspect that she will be chosen next year. She is still a little too young right now.
We just got back from a vacation to Aruba (challenging with 4 kids!). The girls had a great time. They got their hair braided and Leah went on the banana boat which she loved and I hated! I had visions of kids falling off and me having to jump in to save them - that boat goes very fast! Everyone was fine though and of course Leah made fun of me for even worrying in the first place. Emma had the good sense not to get on at all!
They loved the shirts from the benefit! Leah actually wears hers a little too often. Thanks for having them made. They also loved the bracelets - they came out beautifully! I do not let them wear those as often though because they are so delicate.
Well I just wanted to post a little update on the girls. I know I am not the only one that checks this site frequently. Take care and call if you have a chance.
Paulie,
The girls are making us both very proud every day. You keep watching them from where you are and I will do what I can from here ;-)

A few memories of Paulie,
He would always ask me if everything matches, and it was always polo clothes, if I hesitated to say yes then he atomatically knew that I was lying and would go change it. Paulie brought me to Hampton Beach one year for a week, he bought me everything and anything I wanted, that's how Paulie would do vacations if it wasn't the best it wasn't a vacation. Then there was the time a babysat Leah and Emma for him, and Emma chopped all of her hair off with a pair of plastic scisors at first he was mad at me, but then ten minutes later he was over it. My favorite memories of Paulie is when he didn't have my aunt's cooking for a while, like all of us he would devour it within thirty seconds and would just sit there while we finished and constintly said over and over how good it was and how much he missed my aunts cooking.
Auntie Janet and Uncle Paul,
Paulie is looking down on all of us now and I know this doesn't help your pain and sorrow of loosing your first son. Please don't sit at home and just dwell on what should have happened and things that could of happened if only... there is no if only's in life and everything happens for a reason. Just remember you always have me, five other boys, and five well soon to be six grandchildren to fall back on. We are all your support system whether we are at raymond st, at the dorms, or at our own houses we can always get to you with in minutes, and do not feel like you are being a burden if you ever need to ask for anything from any of us. I know your pain will never go away, but neither will ours just remember Paulie is in a better place now where he cannot hurt himself, but he is not alone and never will be... he always has us and everyone else in our family as well as you do. I love you very much and I hope that you will not hesitate if you need anything I am only ten minutes away. <3<3
Love me
Leah and Emma,
I placed a picture on here of you and your daddy at nanna's, this is how you should always remember your daddy. He loved you with all of his heart and I hope you will never forget that. I know you don't see alot of us but we all love you and if you ever need anything don't be afraid to call any of us we are always happy to hear from you girls. Everytime we see you, you look and act more grown up from the last time we saw you. I was very proud of you girls when you came up. I love you and hope to see more of you and soon.
P.S - even though you are in North Carolina I think that your nana and grampy would love to hear from you even if it was over the phone. You were the apple of your fathers eye, and when they see or hear from you they will think of the good times of you with your daddy, and it is always nice to be reminded of the good times.

This may not bring much comfort, but I thought that it might at least make someone smile.

God Bless, and please watch over his wonderful family; most of all Leah and Emma. oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

To the entire McWhinnie family,
I was so saddened by the news of Paul’s untimely death. My thoughts are with all of you.
I don’t remember the first time Paul and I met, but I knew I had found a friend. The look on that kids face used to crack me up. His smile was infectious and just thinking about his laugh makes me laugh as I write this.
We lost touch over the years but the friendship we had as kids was strong and he would pop into my head from time to time.
You will be missed my friend. Thanks for letting me be a part of your life.

The picture on this website was taken in the summer of 2005. It was the last time my daughters saw their father. From the smiles on their faces it is evident the type of day that they had. This is how my girls will remember their daddy.
Thank you to everyone who expressed concern and love or offered prayers for Leah and Emma. I am printing the pages from this website and will read through them with the girls.
Janet, Paul, and everyone in the McWhinnie/Bayliss family - I can't thank you enough for the support you have shown to myself and my girls this past week. I know that the grief you are feeling now must be overwhelming, but you somehow managed to find the strength to support Leah and Emma through all of this. This is the miracle of a close knit family.
Paulie - Leah and Emma are the light of my life. I love them with all of my heart as I know you do. I promise you to do my best with them and I know you will watch over them from where you are.
Leah and Emma are 9 and 8 years old now. They are beautiful and intelligent young women. They both love sports, especially basketball and baseball (they definitely get this from their father). Leah is a great artist as was Paulie. She sketches just like he did. Emma is witty like her father and lights up any room she enters. I am very proud of them. I hope that through our memories, their grandparents, aunts and uncles, and stories shared on this website, they will learn to know more about the man that their father was.
I have a new life now, but memories of Paulie and our days as a family will always be with me. I am sure I will think of him often when I look at Leah and Emma. I will share a few of my memories here as I hope others will as well.
To Paulie:
From you I learned some of the finer things in life. You taught me how to watch a football game, what a spread and a vig was, and how to find the latest lines in the Boston Herald. I learned that the only good time to go to the casino was after midnight and that persistence, a pregnant wife, and a Wampum card will get you a room on the 5th floor at 4am when they are telling everyone else that there are no vacancies. With your encouragement, I learned how to make sauce and meatballs (thanks Janet!) and that Grampy's homemade pasta was the best! I learned that the only place to shop was Filene's and that if it didn't say Polo on it it wasn't worth wearing....
Seriously though, you taught me to pick my battles and to realize when I should stick to my guns and when it was pointless to do so. From you I learned how strong a family can be when they stick together. My time with you taught me to me a better mother and wife, and a stronger person and I will remember you for this and will keep your memory alive for your girls.
Rest in peace Paulie.

Paulie,
I know it's been a long time. Seems like yesterday you were making me chase you around the house for jumping on your mother and father's bed. I could go on and on but nobody else would be able to say anything. You were a sweet kid, and a wise guy at times. I will miss you dearly. With love always.

I will always remember Paulie being there for me, one of the first people to make me laugh when my mom died. Every time I think of him from age 8 until now,it is the same handsome ("Kevin Costner") smile and blues eyes I will see. Always a best friend in my heart. I could take up the whole website telling funny stories of back in the day. I love you, and you will always be my Paulie-Wog. Love "Brown" oxoxoxo
