We will miss Uncle Paul and his special wit and his continuous generosity. We loved him.

I just learned today of Paul's ascent into heaven, or I would have attended the celebration of his extraordinary life, family, and apostolic endeavors and achievements. He will still be in my prayers every day at Holy Mass, but now as a powerful allie as part of The Mystical Body of Jesus Christ in Heaven. To me he was always been referred to as "Barbara and Paul", the ideal example of two who truly became one flesh and one spirit in Christ. While I'm sure he doesn't need it, I will make a plenary indulgence for Paul at Holy Mass tomorrow.
