The family of Paul A. Drozdowski would like to thank each and every one of his friends who sent cards, mass cards, food, monetary gifts, pictures and gave shoulders to lean and cry on. We tried to send thank yous to everyone but couldn't find all the addresses.
We appreciate the great outpouring of friends. Some came from other states, some had memorial tattoos and some placed mememtos in his casket. It all means so much to us and Paul. When Paul left, he took a little piece of everyone's heart with him so you will always be with him as he is with you in your hearts forever.
Many of you knew him from kindergarten, others just a short time. No matter how long you knew him, we were all blessed by his presence. Once again, Thank you for everything and all your love.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Pauly, You were always the one. You kept us alive, kept us together, and kept us as a family. We all have nothing but good times to remember. We will continue to celebrate your life with each passing day. Some say that at the end of one's life, that light burns out. Yours has only grown stronger. That light is what is going to keep us moving forward with you in our hearts. We will never forget "Pauly D"
