... and although I kept myself busy, my thoughts would drift back to him and his life. I had wanted to post this paragraph before and today is a good day for it, it is from the program for the Mass of Resurrection for Jill. May Jill and Paul rest in peace and our families memory of them will forever be in our hearts.
A Family is .....
A family is a deeply rooted tree with branches of different strengths, all receiving nourishment from an infinite source. Family is where character is formed, values are learned, ethics are created, and society is preserved. Family is where all members, contribute and share, cooperate and work, and accept their responsibilities toward the group. Family is where the holidays are celebrated with feasting, birthdays acknowledged with gifts, and thoughts of days gone by are kept alive with fond remembrances. Family is where each can find solace and comfort in grief, pleasure and laughter in joy, and kindness and encouragement in daily living. Family is a haven of rest, a sanctuary of peace, and most of all, a harbor of love.
Happy Birthday Paul, I love you and miss you with all my heart.
Mom
