June 10, 2003

I would like to extend my condolence to Elizabeth for the loss of her husband and my cousin. I have fond memories of some very good times spent with Paul while growing up. I will request my council of St. Vincent de Paul @ St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, of which we are active members, to pray for Paul. I regret that we shall not be able to attend the services. However, we shall remember Paul in our prayers. May GOD take Paul into heaven and send HIS Holy Spirit to comfort his family during this time. GOD Bless.
