Dear Paul, I can hardly believe that you've been gone for 7 years. I have so many wonderful memories of us. A song, a movie, a restaurant brings me back to a certain day that we shared together. 44 years of good and bad times that I will cherish forever. I love you, always have, always will.

Dear Dad, I can’t believe it’s been six years since you left us. It seems like only a moment since I got that unbelievable phone call from Janet at 5:30 in the morning. The memory is still vivid of my drive out there, hoping somehow there had been a mistake and it wasn’t true.
And my memories of you and and my life together with you are just as vivid in my mind. You will never be forgotten. I still have to believe you are watching over us and can see your beautiful great grandchildren. I will be sure to share our good times with them as they get older. Especially with my beautiful grandson, your great grandson Carter.
It is with sadness and love that I write to you today. Never forgotten, always loved,
Your favorite first daughter, Deby. ❤️❤️❤️

Dear Paul, Today marks the 6th anniversary since you went away. A piece of me dies with each passing year. I still cannot imagine anyone having a more exciting and loving relationship than you and I. There are so many memories of all the tender moments we shared. I hope and pray that we will meet again. Love you forever.

Dear Dad, another year passes on this day when 5 years ago when you were taken away from us. It never gets easier. Time passing does not relieve the grief and pain of losing you. You are always with us in spirit, memories never forgotten. I so wish you were here. You would love all your great grandchildren. I will always share stories of your love of the family with my grandson, your great grandson Carter. He will know you through me and Roxanne. But I suspect you know already as I believe you are always watching over us. Love always your favorite first daughter, Deby.

Dear Paul,
Today marks the 5th anniversary since you left. The memories we shared were just unbelievable and there constant in my mind. I remember so often playing records at home for you and always your favorites and we would dance and hold each other close. I miss those times so much. The record player still sits here waiting for you. I cannot bring myself to play it without you!  I love you more than life itself and always wish that one more time we could be together. Love you, always have, always will!

Dear Dad,
Another Christmas without your beautiful presence. But I especially felt your spirit because we weren’t able to celebrate in our usual full family tradition. So it was a Christmas to reflect on how special our/your family is. And the love is still and always will be there even when apart. You instilled that in us. So Merry Christmas and continue to watch over us. Love you always, your favorite first daughter ❤️❤️ Deby

Merry Christmas Eve my darling, Christmas has never been the same without you. This Christmas will be very different as some of our Great Grandchildren Declan, Addi, Reign and Kallen are sick so I'm hoping that you will send your healing powers to them to heal quickly. If anyone can do this, I know it's you! Miss you! Love you...always have, always will!

We celebrated your birthday yesterday but I know you're aware of this since you gave me a sign when I got home. This was the 5th birthday without you and it doesn't get any easier. I do hope you know how much we all miss you. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. My love, my best friend. Love you. Always have, always will.❤❤❤❤

Dear Dad,
We celebrated your birthday at our favorite restaurant, the Chateau in Waltham. Your favorite girls, Janet, Mom, Melissa, Jessy and me. We toasted in your memory. I had our favorite, Caesar salad and Haddock St Germaine, but no baked potato and no brownie sundae, no longer on the menu. But it was still delicious. What would have made the night perfect is if you were there with us. I liked to believe you were watching. Roxanne went out and got oysters honoring that you introduced them to her. She told your great grandson Carter all about you and will continue to share stories of her cherished memories with you. You are so missed everyday, but our memories never fade. I feel your presence when I kiss you good night and good morning every day. I hope you and Stacey are together celebrating. Love you always, your favorite first daughter, Deby

Today marks our 35th Wedding Anniversary Paul! I so wish you were here to celebrate this day with me. I was looking at the prayer that we selected on this day 35 years ago. A little of this...."Out of this tangled world two souls have found each other; a mutual love has drawn them firmly together; and, joining in marriage, they have pledge each to the other, their intentions. Their destinies shall now be woven of one design and their perils and their joys shall not be known apart". I love you. Always have, always will.

Dear Dad, I can still remember that shocking phone call. It was like a nightmare I kept waiting to wake up from. I never got to give you a final hug or say goodbye. I hope you hear me every morning and night when I kiss you goodnight and good morning. I continue to believe you are watching over all of us, your grandchildren and all your beautiful great grandchildren. We will always share memories of you with all of them. You will never be forgotten. Love you always Dad, ❤️❤️

Saying I miss you just doesn't seem to really express how I feel! I'm numb right now. All the special days that I spend alone...Valentines Day, our Anniversary, my Birthday but this day is the hardest! And I'll never forget getting that call. I still hear that voice. Keep sending me those special signs. I know you're still here in spirit. 

I had considered moving to Utah so I wouldn't be alone on these days but Lori and family will be moving back here soon enough.

I love you with all my heart. Always have, always will.

Missed you last night at Melissa’s birthday dinner. In fact I miss you everyday.  I often think about you when I see a cool car. Or read an interesting article and am looking for someone to discuss it with. 

You were and still make a great difference in my life.

Happy New Years Eve Paul! On December 28th at 2:11 am I woke up and looked next to me and didn't see you there and half asleep I figured that you had fallen asleep upstairs. I got up to go the bathroom and then realized you weren't here. The next morning Bowie went upstairs and started barking and barking. That's when I knew your spirit was surely here. Love you forever and ever!

Dear Dad, another Christmas you were so missed. I hope you can see all of your beautiful great grandchildren, and the joy our ever growing family continues to bring. I believe you are watching over all of us, especially in these troubled Covid virus times. You are always thought of everyday, but especially so on Christmas. I so wish you could be with us. But I know you are always with us in spirit and in our hearts. Love you always Dad, your favorite first daughter, Deby. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Merry Christmas Eve Paul! We shared so many of them and I don't think I'll ever get over your not being here with me. I love you just as much today, if not more, and miss you so. You were my rock. Sending all the love that I have to you today!

Dear Dad, you were deeply missed today on this day devoted to all dads, as Janet said, your girls were all together, sharing memories of you with the family. All your grand and great grandchildren sharing your favorite lobsters and steamers. We will never let them forget the devoted patriarch figure you held and will continue to hold in our memories with stories and pictures. You would have met and loved the new man in Roxanne’s life. She and Jeffrey are adding another great grandson to the family you created. I know you continue to watch over all of us. Happy Father’s Day my forever missed dad. Love always, your favorite oldest daughter, Deby. ❤️❤️❤️

Dear Dad, celebrated your birthday today with the family at one of your favorites- Clinton Bar and Grille, ( the Chateau was not available for outdoor dining) So we picked your next favorite. I know you were with us, creating the perfect weather for us to get together. It was especially nice having Roxanne home and able to join us. Loved seeing the video of you introducing her to oysters. And I know you will watch over her and your future grandson, Carter on the way. You are missed everyday. But are in my heart forever. Love you always, your favorite first daughter, Deby. ❤️❤️

Happy Birthday my dear sweet Husband! This is the 4th birthday since you've been gone and I miss you terribly! Think about you every single day. Of course, the family will be getting together this evening to celebrate you as we do each year. And pretty soon we will have as many Great Grandchildren as we do Grandchildren that being 10. Amanda will be having her 4th child, a boy, in November and our little Roxanne will be having her first in October. Deby is so happy to be happy that she will be having a Grandson. Yes, it's a boy! And you are so missed for these wonderful celebrations. Love you to pieces and always will.

Dear Dad,
Three years have passed since you were taken away from us. Still feels like it was only yesterday. Your presence is always with me and all of us. Your spirit still provides guidance. I love when you come to visit in my dreams. (Please visit more often). ❤️
You will never be forgotten. Stories of how wonderful a dad, grandfather & great grandfather will alway be shared. Miss and love you always, your favorite first daughter, Deby. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Some say it gets better with time and sometimes it does.  I see a cool car and think about how much you would have liked it. Or listen to a politician say something and smile at what your response would have been. 

I am grateful for those brief moments when you are with me.  Miss you everyday. Love Ed

Tomorrow is the 3rd Anniversary and you're missed as much today if not more than that heartbreaking day! I could never express the true loss I feel...when a song plays or I pass a place we used to frequent. There are just so many memories and they're all wonderful but it still makes me so sad that there are no new memories. I love you...always have, always will!

Dear Dad,
Another Birthday celebration with you in our hearts. Lunch at our favorite Chateau. Happy memories of our so many dinners there. It’s still unreal that you are not there physically with us, yet we know you are there always with us in spirit. You are forever in our thoughts and memories. Janet, Melissa, Jessy, mom and I loved reminiscing about so many happy times together. Our comfort comes in knowing you continue to watch over us. And I cherish the signs and dreams when I know you are there with me. Continue to shine your everlasting presence with us. Love you, your favorite first daughter, Deby. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy Father's Day to the greatest father I've known.  Paul, you are always missed but on special occasions it's that much harder not having you here with us.  We all love you so much.  I do hope you're celebrating today with Stacy.  Sending all my love....

Thought I'd send a picture of all the girls to you. 

Happy Birthday

My Dear Paul,

Today is your birthday so I'm sending you this card.  When I gave it to you a few years back, you said it was the greatest card you had ever received and you asked me to never lose this.  So I'm sending it up to you today.  I don't feel so lucky anymore and on that horrible day, a big piece of my heart went with you. No one can ever imagine how much I miss you...morning, noon, and night but especially at night. 

We will be celebrating your birthday today at the Chateau where you and Deb had your monthly dinners and a place where you and I hung out years ago.

Happy Birthday Paul.  I will love you forever and pray that we will meet again.




My love

I miss you so much Paul.  There isn't a minute that goes by that you are not in my thoughts.  When I get home at night I feel you all around the house. 

I've been thinking of what a wonderful husband, father, step father, grandfather and great grandfather that you've been.  I can't imagine that there's been any better.  Why i love you so much.

But you were even more, a great son in law and brother in law.
 
When my Dad was sick and had to go to the hospital.  Although that was the last time he would go there, you were the one that brought him to Heywood, the hospital that you had not been to since you had resigned.  You loved my father and really stepped up and did something that was so difficult.  Why I love you so much. 


You introduced my sister to her now husband who have been married for years now.  My sister Linda has referred to that many times because it stills means so much to her.  Why I love you so much.


My sister June, when she was down and out, well you stepped up again and took care of her.  You got her the care that she needed to heal.  Why I love you so much.
