Aunt Nan, I can only hope and pray that someday any of this will make sense. I prayed harder than ever the morning of Uncle Paul's mass but God had different plans for your two Pauls. They are together as father and son again and you have to imagine they are happy to be with Grandma and Grandpa, UnK., Gerty, Jimmy Higgins,Jimmy Hylas and everyone who knew and loved them before they were gone. I can only hope and pray that you have some sort of peace knowing they are all together in heaven.

We will miss Paul at the Rhododendron meetings. He was always full of information and excited about the plants. I pray that God will give you and yours strength and some peace as time goes along.
