To Melanie, I hope you remember me from VingCard, it’s Dawn Guarino. I’m so sorry about the passing of your dad. It must be so hard. I came to the wake with Christine but your family had left. We should all get together someday...
In Sympathy,
Dawn Guarino
I will always remember my nephew Paul as a little boy about 9 years old when he sang Ave Maria in my church. He was a beautiful human being then and throughout his life. I know that he is now in heaven resting in peace together with his mother and father. All my love and prayers are with his family. Aunt Joan
All of my memories of Paul - literally all of them - are that he was a kind and buoyant presence in our family; I remember well that radiant smile. Love to all.
Melanie, your Dad - UP to me- was my God Father and also a hero to me too. He stepped in and filled Poppy's shoes, which in my mind and heart, were the biggest shoes that could ever be filled. I had Poppy on a pedastool. Your Dad did a valiant job taking over as patriarch of our family. He was only other person I could see giving me away at my wedding besides Poppy. UP, sevred God, our country and our family with honor, love, dignity and respect. I love him very much and will miss him dearly.
My brother always had a dynamic and wonderful personality. I admired and look up to him as the kind of person I would like to be. I could count on him for strength when I needed it and never doubted his love. He was an amazing role model for him my daughters and God Father to them both. In all of my life I never remember him raising his voice. He never needed that to make his feelings known. Melanie and Linda were his world and I have been blessed to have him as my brother. I will miss him more than words can say.
I love you Paul, your sister, Sharron
