Dear McCarthy Family,
I want you all to know that I think that Uncle Paul was a very special man. When my husband Brian passed he wrote me a beautiful letter. He seemed proud that one of his Nephew's was named after him. Brian Paul Fix was his name.
I will Cherish that letter for ever.
Thank You, Uncle Paul. You made that time for me a little better. Much Love to all.
My prayers are being said for all. Love you Aunt Marilyn.
Love ,
Vicki Fix
