Dear Mary Lou and family, I've been away but learned of Paul's death and your HUGE loss. No words are adequate to touch that grieving. I pray that happier memories will comfort you. I remember how good you and Paul were at St. Mary's while I was there and your Julie, Kim, Kelly and Dan were in the program. Let friends and family support each of you. Tell each other your wonderful stories and savor them. May Paul rest in peace. Ann Chiango

Dear Kelley and family, We were saddened to learn of Paul's passing away. We did not know him, only through Kelley's sharing. From what she shared, her dad was a man of great character: a man of courage, a man of humor and laughter, a man who cared deeply about his family, a man who could be counted on, a man of distinction. Please know that our hearts are with you at this difficult time. May you continue to draw strength form yourselves, your larger family, community and friends and may his memory always serve as a blessing to you. With love, Robin Neray and Reed Neray

Paul was a friend who was there to give of his time to help me since coming back to Framingham. Marylou, my dear cousin, you truly have wonderful memories to hold on to. Your "best friend" is still with you in the many good times that cannot be erased. Not only has he made a good name with you and the children.....He has with Jehovah God. Eccl.7:1 says.."A name is better than good oil and the day of death than one being born." Yes, Paul has made a good name for himself over the years of his life with family, friend, his community and foremost, with God. I know that he loved you all and did not want you to be overly sad because he knew the condition of his physical weak heart. But the figurative or symbolic heart was always strong and always loving you.
