Dear Kristen and family,
I was so saddened to hear of Paul's passing. I remember him as a kind and helping man. I will always remember how he helped my Mother ( Catherine) aftr my father's passing by taking care of her lawn and yard for almost a year. I had to insist he take a little some thing which speaks of this man's character and compassion. Kristen my thoughts and prayers are with you in this very difficult time. I remember and appreciate all the care you gave to my Mom at Evergreen until her untimely passing. Paul and yourself will always have a place in my heart.
Prayers and regrets,
Ronny Sabellico
