    Dear Aunt Phyllis, Thank you so much for the loving care you gave to my Uncle Paul. I cannot help but feel that the greatest tribute to you is the fact that a Mass will be celebrated at Holy Rosary Church. My Uncle Paul was full of wisdom. He tried very hard to pass that on to all of his brothers and sisters children. He brought our families together. May he rest in peace. .
