I was truly stunned when I learned about the tragic loss of Paul, Marianne and your aunt and uncle. I attended grammar school and high school with Paul. He always made me smile. I always looked forward to seeing him at the class reunions. He was a terrific person and although I met Marianne on a few occasions, she also seemed like a terrific person. May the warmth of tender memories and the love of those around you bring you comfort and peace. My deepest sympathy.

It is very hard for me to beleive that Marianne is no longer with us. Her many years of service spent at Monson Company will never be forgotten.
She was a model employee and I will never forget her smiling face. My prayers are with the entire Family.
