    This family has been such a big part of my life in so many ways for so many years.. Every single one of them have showed up for me when I’ve needed them at different times in my life. Through good times, and bad health they’ve all been there. I can tell you they are strong, they are mighty, they are family. Sending you all the most love. Rest in heaven Paul. Give Rosa the biggest hug. We’ll miss you.

    You have all been such a wonderful part of my memories. Before I left to go to the Army, I came up to see you, Ruth was still with us and we had such a great time. I am so sorry that Cousin Paul has left us. Please know how much you have always meant to me. Aunt Marie was always a big part of our lives too. God bless each of you.

    I have great memories of our family gatherings,
    especially the ones at grandma and grandpa’s
    lake cottage. They were memorable times.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. The video was a
    beautiful memorial for Paul.

    you will be missed. We loved you. I hope the best for you. i know how hard it can be to lose a parent. There are times when you don’t get a chance to think about what you want to say. You might be given the news of someone’s death in a conversation or over the telephone. Finding the right words to say right there and then can be perplexing. It’s not possible to put yourself in the bereaved person’s shoes and understand what they are going through. However, we all know that it’s much better to say something than say nothing at all. Whatever words you choose won’t take away the pain they might be feeling, but they will go a long way toward helping them feel your love and support. Choosing words of sympathy is not something to take lightly. The best advice is to say something simple, show empathy, and speak from the heart.
