Paul,
I knew how much you loved your Mother because of the look on your face when my grown boys would come over to visit and I would chase them to kiss me goodbye and they would tease and hide and then jump out 'cause they knew there was no escape without that kiss. You would have this certain sweet rascally smile on your face when you watched me bug my boys. They both loved you too. I knew that you cared for us because you were thinking of your Mom. Also because you knew we cared for you your ownself. We took care of your home when last you got to go see your Mom. Kyle and I. Kyle helped you pack and move to Vegas. He is heart stricken. There is no way to express the feeling of your loss. Grief for your family and friends--everyone that loved you. This will take a great long long time to subside and your loss will never truly go away. Never.

Kyle (in sorrow) and Tara and my sons Sean and Kris

Paul Baby:
I can't believe you are gone. When did you first steal my heart...was it the first time I laid eyes on you at your birth or was it during the 2 weeks I spent with you and your mom (my sister) after you were born. It was love at first sight.

I don't know if your mom's dementia is a blessing or a tragedy. At times she may forget, but the times that she remembers...it is like she just heard about you death and grieves all over again. Losing a child is the most horrid, unthinkable experience that a parent has to endure.

I will continue to pray for her and the rest of our family. As Guylene said, she and I have your website, the videos, and the blogs from all of your friends that loved you so much. This is helping us to endure the pain.

I will always love you, and you will always remain in my heart along with all of the memories of your life.

I love you, Pam

For my dear sister, Helen (Jean) I am so, so sorry that you had to go through this. The pain sticks in my throat and goes to my heart and I can hardly breathe. This is the one thing a Mother fears most, that she will lose a child. For you to have to go through this is killing me. I feel your pain and I know how hard it is for you to be able to have closure under your circumstances. The rest of us have Paul's web site to view and read all the wonderful stories that his friends wrote about him and reading about the Memorial and Celebration of Paul's life that was held by his music friends. We have all of this to help us with our our closure. I will continue to share all of this with you, when you are having a clear day and I will continue to pray for you when you are having those foggy days and hope that this will help. With strength we all will continue on and thank God for our wonderful, good and even sad memories that we have of Paul.
All of my love, Guylene
