My sweet aunt Ellen, I was so sad to read of the passing of Paul. I know it's been many years since we have spoken or seen each other, but I hope you know that I love you and Paul very much and miss you. Someday perhaps we can reconnect, until then you are in my thoughts often and always in my heart. My wish is that you have found peace and comfort since Paul's passing.

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
“With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

I have shared kittle snippets of conversation and smiles with Paul before Friday morning mass and have always felt increased by the experiences.

Paul shared with all, his gifts of love of God, joy in life and happiness. We were blessed to be among his friends. Our prayers are with you all, as we ask God to welcome him into His kingdom saying "Well done, good and faithful servant".

We are so sorry for Paul’s passing. We put him on our schedule today in ARU thinking he might come, but he was called by our Father to be home with Him and be comforted. Our thoughts and prayers for him and Ellen.
