AN OPEN LETTER TO CHIP
Paul Anthony Chiappetta
Dear Chip;
I’m sorry that I didn’t E-mail you for several weeks. I was under the weather and didn’t want to
bother you with that. Our correspondence has always been on a cheerful positive side.
A few weeks back, when you had called me on a friday and left a message on my machine, you
were on the road to some where and said , “you would not be back till after monday.”. I called
that tuesday but did not get through..
I knew that your birthday was coming up, I always made it my business to send you a card.
So I sent you one. You should have gotten it on your birthday, the 17th. of Feb. You left us on the 18th.
Sorry, I didn’t know you were so sick. You never indicated to me that you were .
I am going to miss you and will never forget you. I’ll will be looking for your E-mails..
Bye for now, Chip, God has you now.
Cuz Pat
P.S. Paul, when you see my mother in heaven, please tell her that I love her. Thanks. C. U.
