To Paul's Family, So sorry to hear that Paul passed away. I just don't know what to say. We were kids when we met back in the early 60's and would lose contact and then through other friends met up again...So sorry to see Pauline had passed away too.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Paul, I still can't believe you're not a phone call away. Like your family, I miss you terribly and always will. You were my only "stand by me " friend, and Jeremys Godfather. You did more with Andrew as he was a little older and he remembers the fishing trips and ball playing. From high school, through marriage, through children and later, I will always hold you close to my heart. Love you terribly,
Kay, Andrew and Jeremy

Robin,Corey,& Katie,
My sincerest regards go out to you.
There are no words to make it better.
I only met your father a few times, but I knew right away he was a man full of love and laughter. I will never forget when he jumped on that mini bike. It's not easy to live a life carefree, without worry. Paul stood up to his disease and stayed stong for you all.
Hold your memories close.
God Bless~

Robin, Katie, and Corey,
Paul was such a great man. I remember when he first was admitted to BWH/6b. I had the honor to admit him and be his nurse. With this devasting disease, leukemia, he always had a positive outlook. I really loved being his nurse, even when he yelled at me..."what did you bring your whip" lol. He fought this disease with everything he had. He was a tough man. I loved listening to him on the phone with you. He would always say, no matter how bad he felt, "I am okay" and then talk with you and always end the conversion with, "I love you Cisco." He loved you and his children so very much. All of us from 6b will miss Paul... he touched so many people. May God Bless you in this difficult time. Love always Nancy Flynn

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Paul, I will miss you terribly. You always had a smile on your lips or a joke in the making. I am so proud that you were there as my son's God-father and friend.
Robin, Corey and Katie, my thoughts and prayers are with you always. xoxo
