    I was so very sorry and saddened to hear of my cousin, Paul, passing. My Dad was Aunt Bert’s baby brother ( Barney) and we moved to Texas when I was small so did not grow up to learn yo know all my cousins real well but because Aunt bert and Uncle Bill came to see us several times, I learned to know their boys a little bit and tried to keep in touch a little. It has been a few years now that I last saw Paul and his family and I just want them to know I think of them often and will definitely have them in my thoughts and prayers on Monday and Tuesday. Wish I could be there but I send my love to all.
