Dad, Hope heaven is what it seems for I miss you so much everyday.Things here are so/so taken the balls as they get thrown at us, that seems to make me less stressed about everything then wondering whats to come next. I know you are watching us from above hope I'm doing everything wright for you even though you and mommy are no longer with me down here except in my dreams and memories. Hope you can see are new baby Koda from Heaven above for he is so cute reminds me a lot of Baron he is beautiful and is 6 months old now and 69 pounds of Puppy love. gets into trouble now and then but he is helping me through all I have been through and helping me to go out side and be free again and enjoy some of my life and remember what fun is and how to laugh and smile again everyday. Well Just wanted to say Hi to you dad and to mom for everyday with out you two still is very strange specially in this old house here for the days I seem to need you or turn to see if your there when I need someone and your not and knowing your not even a phone call away makes me very sad and I know you can here and see us but to talk I also know there is not a phone in heaven from here for if there was I would call you both everyday. Miss and love you dad Paul and Mom Diane for the lord took you both away from us not even a year apart but I am happy to know that you both are together again forever and no one can take you away from each other again. See you some day again when my time comes to join you both I know you'll be waiting for me with your loving arms to hold me and see me through the light with no fear. Love and hugs to you both in heaven Your baby girl Rebecca

As halloween coming around, remembering Uncle Paul was the one to walk & drive us around on halloween for candy. Eric, Cory and I. I as well as Uncle Paul reminding me of the year I was a mermaid & I had to wear dress shoes to look pretty & I was afraid to go down this one hill because the ground was wet & I was afraid of falling. So some1 had to come get me. Haha! Uncle Paul was always the one to take the kids out for trick or treating. And Auntie stayed back at the house waiting for us with big bowls to dump our candy in to check all the wrappers. Miss you guys <3

Things just have been really hard for me losin mom and then a few months later my dad/best friend.....for I hope you know how much Your older daughter Tricia has been doing for my family and I.....I know you do!!!! you raised at least one smart business head for I was the more the hands on kid...for if she was not here with me I don't think I would be here right now.....She has helped me through so much my family and I, I thank you so much for her everyday you and mom brought me into this world and she did not like havin a baby sister to much when you two brought me home but I'm glad I have her each and everyday , I hope she feels the same about me....I need you daddy I need a whisper in the wind to carry me through all we are going through my family and I for things are so messed up with us right now and very scary.....I truly mean this. please don't lose sight of us from heaven stay close to us exspecially right now....For when I feel your whispers in the winds and your angel wings picking me up when I start to stray from all the emotions right now that will be my sign to know I am on my way and going to be choosing the right path for my family and I......But right now I feel nothing but all broken in two but I am mending slowly....And doing it my own way.....Day by day....tears.... laughter....sadness....confusion....lost....missing you both so very much...But still feel you should still be here with us the lord took you to soon my super-man...Why!!!! ( I keep asking myself this each and everyday)....It is hard for me to believe right now in our lord.....For I know there is a reason for everything I really do....But these last past years up to your last three days I tried to hold onto you a little longer with my faith and prayers I told him you were not going anywhere yet....But you faded away from me..... after you held tricia and my hand and said you were goona go today I still said no your not but you knew daddy you knew.....I'm sorry I did not believe you I would have lay-ed next to you and sang you a few more songs. But All I could do was hold your hand for you did not want anyone to let your hands go as you walked the tunnel of light to meet mom and all the ones you lost and now were on your way to rejoin....I love you dad....I love you....Please watch over my family and I and steer us in the right direction to take, with a whisper in my ear of some sort along our journey....your little girlRebecca (Hugs) to both you and mom Dance a dance for me Sept 11th while you celebrate your 47th wedding anniversary, at least you are together this year for mommy missed it last year by only a few days she was just not strong enough to hold on... but I'm glad Tricia and I were with you here at your home to have helped you through that day last year... for now this year you are both together again hand in hand...

A poem about my dad for I wanted a few more days with you this summer.
Daddy
****************************
Delightful,all who knew him.
Ambitious,in all he did.
Determined,fought till end.
Died,but he knew it was time
Yellow,warmth of your love.
***************************
Daddy I took the first letters of this word and
made a poem just about you.
I miss you so much for I know the days will get better but for now they seem so tough.I know you would want me to be strong and to move on and take care of my family now, so I will, but not without you with in my heart pointing me in the right direction each and everyday until I see your light and face and arms reaching down for me from heaven above to pull me into your lovin' arms so we will never be without each other ever again. Until then my best friend & my super-man sending you a hugs up in heaven and all my love In the warmth of my hands & heart,please share this with mom too. I can not believe I lost both of you and you both are gone.....Need to get going now for the tears are fallen down. Your little Tomboy/babygirl RebeccaLynn

Growing up with Becky, I spent many many days and nights at the Begin house. Mr. and Mrs. Begin had an awesome way of making you feel like you were one of their own children. I never saw a father so active in his kids lives, all the Big E trips, jazzercize, laughs in the pool, Becky and I singing in her bedroom and Mr. Begin coming in and joining us and so many more memories. I know the pain you are feeling right now is overwhelming. I hope every day a smile replaces a tear as you cherish all the wonderful memories your Dad filled your life with. All my love, prayers and strength are with you all. Love you

Paul, you were the best neighbor one could ever have when we moved to Farmington 24 years ago. You, Diane and your family became good friends throughout the years. You would rototill our garden every year and share your gardening tips with us as well as stories of your family. You truly lived life to the fullest and we hope happy memories will be a comfort to your family at this sad time.

Uncle Paul you were the glue that held the family together.You taught me how to ride a two wheel bike at my grandparents home. You were very special to all of us with your humor and advice. You are with Auntie once again walking hand in hand in Heaven. And I'm sure you were welcomed home from all who past before you. I love you and will miss you, But you will always be in my heart.
