Dear Paul,
This will be ten Years! oh where has the time gone? 
Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.

I'd put the moment in a safe,
within my heart's abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.

I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me
through everything I've done.

I sat and thought about what moment
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me
to walk that extra mile.

If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do,
I can go and open my little safe
and watch my moment through.

There are moments I can think of
that would lift my spirits every time.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.

For me to only pick one moment
to cherish, save and keep
is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!

I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside.
There was room for lots of moments;
in fact, hundreds if I tried.

I'm building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you
before you had to part.

I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through.
My little library acts as a promise.
I'll never ever forget you.

8 Years and 3 days ago we walked around the pond and talked about what we wanted out life stopped by an AA meeting and grilled chicken (cooked Paulie's special) with rice and veggies. miss you!

November 1, 2012 you were discovered, and no longer missing. Your walk was a long one down that long dirt road you traveled many times as a child and also as an adult. Then, through the woods, across the stream for almost 2 miles. Sure wish you would've turned back. Miss you every day. I know you are at peace. Its hell on earth. People dont care about people anymore. It's an all about "ME" world. You are in paradise! Love sis,

Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts
The morning sun, when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes, you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you…

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'There is no reason'
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well have been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later

Out of the Darkness - walk Oct 22, 2016. It's only taken 4 years to shed some light on the thought of you not here! A work related associate was going to walk for her fiance' David, who took his life at 57 years old. She is now a S.O.S going on three months. I haven't been able to walk, talk , write or sing about Suicide Prevention/Depression or support anyone but our own, until now. Honestly, "who supported who?" on Saturday is unknown, but I did not feel alone and made the best of your upcoming anniversary Oct 23. It was a bright, sunny, windy day... your kind of weather. Colored beads made a difference Saturday! (much more symbol than a good time) I wore orange for sibling, purple for family, Charlie and Aunt Marion and blue for support. I was surprised by so many wearing white, for children. All together, we stood strong, even though all were sad. It does not matter how long its been or will be.....You are missed, loved and thought of by all who knew you, little Paul, Potlicka, Paulie, Paul Vincent, Uncle Paul, brother, son, husband, friend, and there are still a lot of tears! We will continue to be strong in your memory. I will carry on each year and walk til I can't walk anymore... Love you, Sis (NJ)

Easter is early this year, but you know that. what can we talk about that seems kind. I see the butterflies but they don't hug. I'm selfish cause I miss you with every breat I take. keep me on the bright side I just can't seem to stay there on my own. I miss you and love you Paulie, Love Mom

Happy Birthday Paulie,
Boy if I think back when we were always together and our birthdays came mine the 16th and yours today. We sure could stir some stuff up. As a matter of fact I think we always stirred stuff up weather in school or running the roads. The best times were at my townhouse though. I know you are watching over all of us. So until we meet again my friend Happy Birthday.

Happy New Year Paulie it's 2015 and we have learned to go on without you, but you're still missed the same, if not more!
Your Cowboys would make you a proud fan! Watched the game last night with Mama in memory of your die hard, life long, loyalty to your Dallas Cowboys! you know damn well, I found it hard to route for them. But even though you werent on the couch cheering, I could still hear ya!
Your SC girls are doing fine! Justyne, Mom and I have shared so many laughs, it's hard not to pee our pants! Mama looks fabulous! and she actually feels good most of the time. (or she is good at hiding it). Justyne has come a loooong way! You'd be proud. Me, I just keeping dreaming big and making it happen. Thankful everyday that God is keeping us together, happy and healthy. Love you brother, Miss you too!
Love Sis,

2 years today and it's as if you just left! you're still with me on my morning beach walks, waiting for that miraculous sunrise! on a clear starry night I feel you looking down on me, telling me "This too shall pass" when I feel overwhelmed. You would be filled with joy to know mama is out of the city and here with Justyne and I.( So are you! ).Mama reallly has lit up and has some pep in her step these days. It just feels right having us together in a place sunny and bright!  "Somewhere over the rainbow" I guess you coud say! I love you and miss you so much. Oh brother, where art thou! Til we meet again! Love Sis.

Dear son, I took few months off from your memorial page, but not from your memories. took a little trip so to have a very peaceful service for you as you "REST HIGH ON THE MOUNTAIN" October is no longer a day for my birthday but a month to celebrate you.

Well I'm getting ready to turn the age, that you were, when you left us. Feeling really strange about it? I'm sure everyone thinks I'm worried about getting older (nope, no problem with that). You should still be here, we should have celebrated your 50th together, then mine. So to celebrate without you, I'm going to do something you loved (gambling in Atlantic City - Remember when we all went ;) ) Maybe you can slide me some luck ;) Thinking about you like crazy...Love Ya Bunches and Miss you More1! Your Lil' Brother ;)

The days and months since you passed one year ago have not been easy for the loved ones you left behind!. We all miss you so deeply! There is a hole in each of our hearts where our Paulie used to be. I can still hear your sweet words of wisdom, "this too shall pass" or "I'm glad that was yesterday" help me get through it all.. I love you and miss you Paulie!

I love you dearly and won't wait for your call this year. but its ok love mom

today you would have turned 50. Paulie how did you get to the edge of no return. If the deceased can get a message I hoped to hear. you didn't get that far by yourself. who did't help you come back, that's what I want to know. bulling comes so many different ways. but mind you they will answer. they probably don't sleep to well. I love and miss you, mom

Paulie, 20 days from now is your 50th birthday,I can remember your birth as if it was yesterday. You came fast and you left this world fast.I really wish that I would have taken you far away so no sadness could have become such a part of your being. your struggles mounted as you did not get the praise you so deserved. I will bet my last breath on this. love mom

I think not being able to do this is far more sad than anyone knows,the cobble stones of your path to your destination is a burden for me to carry, love mom

Paulie,Paulie dear you hear pretty song being sang for you by your favorite birds or smell the pretty fall flowers as you walked on the cobble stones to the great sea above, your baby steps grew so you COULD TAKE YOUR JOUNEY.

3 months since you walk away never to return son. I can't believe that your baby steps on cobble stone path would lead you so far that I ,can't hug you, see you,or just call your name for none would be answered.  forever and ever this is my hell on earth,  "nobody answer when I call your name" by vince gill "so go rest high on that mountain your work is thru" by vince gill love mom

another month gone by.... I think of you and lil Charlie and how you two were our little family rebels. Both of you were so determined to do things the opposite of the way it should be done. Neither of you would adhere to set boundaries, always living on the edge. it's sad the family we have lost and left us all SOS: Aunt Ollie, Marion, Uncle Johnny, you and Buck. I miss you all! XOXO

90 days +.. Justyne said Ive been counting all wrong. there was 31 days in Dec, & Jan.(small stuff) Sunday the 10th. was Transfiguration Sunday. It made me think hard. Have you been climbing that stairway to heaven these past few months and now you are "there" and have your angel wings? Were you the "field trip leader for the 20 babies from CT? I know how much you adored children.
February 1, 2013
February 1, 2013
90 days again--- earthly body found on Nov. 1. sometimes Im not sure what day to stop counting. February 9th will be 90 days since we all gathered to celebrate your peace. Miss you so much.... your leaky oil stains are still on coldwater circle.lol. I hope they never fade away. Your "choice "has left such a hole in my heart. Dont know how to mend it. love sis.

Well Paulie it is that time of year again but this year is the big 50 as mine just passed a few days ago. I can remember some of the things we did in the 13-days from mine to yours.like the time we left the townhouse and drove into a ditch not even a mile from the house. Well we thought we could drive out of it until we knocked that fire hydrant out of the ground so we left the car there and put our HUGE cooler of beer behind that tree we thought but come to find out it was no bigger around than a twig and our bright RED cooler could be seen by all for miles. Once we walked back to the house we realized we left all our beer there so we went back to get it and the cops had arrived but they were too busy trying to stop the water so our two drunk butts grabbed the cooler and tried running up the street with it until we dropped it and beer bottles breaking and ice all over the dam street. After that we decided to just call it a night and thought we really got away with something until the next morning when the cops showed up at the house cause we left the tags on the car. I could go on and on about some of the fun we had Well its 1am so i will close for now my friend but will write again very soon. You are very much missed Love Shawn

Summer 2013-

June 20, 2013

Life is not the same without you---finding my "new normal" without you here has not been easy. My sunny days are just not as bright!  and Sundays at church are always tearful. Just cant make it through that 45 minutes of worship with out thoughts of you and wishing you were there beside me singing out of tune and your leg going non-stop. I have found a new beach spot-- cant seem to go to Coral Beach without you.
You were here for two summers,  2011 and 2012.  Wow it was great having my little brother to hang out with.  It was even funnier when we started talking about growing old.  I am mad and sometimes I get madder than a hornet, knowing you are not going to grow old with me. Love ya. Big sis. 

bed-time

April 26, 2013

since my bed was moved by you and Jaci I kinda sleep in the middle of the floor now. You left sooner than we thought and no-one has moved it back, its sort of a memorial to you now, Paulie. I just get to it faster now, faster to get out of my room. your urn and pics are close by. first look in the morn and last look at nite. God knows I am so sorry for your pain that took you away. I know this because I carry it every day, hour or minutes. I love you as much now or more than I did at the start of the day, Oct.23rd. rest in peace son, love mom
