HI BRO,
JUST SITTING HERE ON ANOTHER RAINY NIGHT ITS ABOUT 11:00 PM. MY MIND IS ON YOU AGAIN AS IT USUALLY IS AND HAS BEEN SINCE YOU LEFT THIS WORLD. MY BROTHER PAUL ITS BEEN ONE WEEK TODAY
SINCE I GOT WORD OF YOUR PASSING. I AM STILL JUST LIKE IN A STATE OF NUMBNESS AND EMPTYNESS AND SOMEWHAT OF A DISBELIEF OF YOU BEING GONE. TO SAY THAT I AM SAD IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. IT'S JUST NOT
STRONG ENOUGH TO EXPRESS HOW I FEEL. I TRY TO KEEP MY MIND OCCUPIED BY DOING THE THINGS THAT I DO ON A DAILY BASIS AND MORE THINGS SO THAT I AM NOT SO TRANSPARENT IN THE GRIEF THAT I FEEL FROM THE LOSS OF YOU. THE MORE I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT IT SEEMS THE MORE I DO. WELL MY BROTHER EVEN THOUGH YOUR NOT HERE
PHYSICALLY I JUST FELT A NEED TO SHARE A THOUGHT OR TWO WITH YOU AND I KNOW THAT SOMEHOW SOMEWHERE YOU HEAR ME. I WILL THINK OF YOU OFTEN AND ALWAYS AND LIKE NOW FROM TIME TO TIME WE WILL CHAT. MY THOUGHTS ARE ON YOU. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MY BRO.
YOUR BRO TOM

R.I.P. Paul was a man of energy, excitment, and joy. Ohh we cant forget full of storys. Paul me and you had a daily routine, In the morning we would fight because I was there too early, in the afternoon we would argue about who gets the last black cherry, and at night rushing me too go home so the next day we would play it all over again. In my heart and in my prayers you will be, In my light and my shadow you will always show your face, In my thoughts and in my dreams you will speak too guied me in life.

PS.
He was a gift from above. He was the key to happyness and hope. His words moved everyone he spoke to wheather you laughed or cried it made an impact. God chose 1/11/2007 as a day of realization, now that Paul Sr. has moved on to Gods kingdom of gold its time for all of us to realize the good times we shared with him not the bad. He was the light in the morning and the party at night. But no matter what goes on from this point he is forever in our hearts. Amen

May God take you under his wing and keep you in eternity.

It has been since 1961 that you had our paths cross and I think of you always. I am now looking at the face of an 11 year old boy in my mind.

Thanks for the memories and if you grew up and was half as good as your Mom and Grandfather then you were quite a man.

Paul,
Your nieces Patti & Shanna and your sister-in-law Peggy will miss you very much. The times we did share together were happy times. When we would listen to Bob Seger when you'd come to visit. Will we ever look at fireworks the same way again? How many people did you please every 4th of July? Too many to count.
To Mary and PJ:
However heavy your hearts are at this time, we pray that Jesus will fill your hearts with wonderful memories of your Husband/Dad.
Rest in peace Paul. Our deepest sympathy go out to your wife Mary, son Paul and brother Tom.

To My Bro Paul,
Long are the memories I have of us as kids and adults, but short has the time been in this life that I have shared with you. My heart is broken, my soul is filled with tears, for you were the last remaining brother that I had alive. I feel a tremendous emptyness within myself. I can only imagine how your wife Mary and son PJ could possibly be feeling at this time. My heart and prayers go out to them. Until we meet again my brother I Love You and I won't say goodbye, I'll say see you later.
LOVE,
TOM
