Dear Jackie and Elizabeth;
I am so sorry to hear about Paul and also Frankie. I have so many wonderful memories of Manthorne Rd and the Tansey Family. Paul was a bright light and a happy soul. I will keep you both in my prayer.

Elizabeth, I have many great memories of Paul working at the Shattuck Hospital. He came to work every day and did his best. It was great to see him return to visit after retiring. He was always happy and proud to be a part of the Shattuck. May he rest in peace.
