I am very sorry for your loss, Paul. You won the lottery the day you met your wife. You are married to a saint.

I'm so sorry for your loss Paul. You probably don't realize how fortunate you and your wife are to have such a great relationship with your sister. Don't ever take that for granted because not all of us are as fortunate and count your blessings for that each day. Hang in there, you will get through it.

Paul, thanks for the story of your family the school of hard knocks you encountered as daring youth can experience growing up.

Sorry for the loss of a true gem of a sister and you and your wife’s enduring love and care of family.

Cherished memories of family growing up are priceless.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry to hear about Sharon. She sounds like an amazing woman. God bless Patty! She is a saint. What a blessing to have those women in your life!

Oh - I am so very sorry for your loss. It is so distressing when those special, caring people like your sister have to deal with an illness like cancer. Not right at all - but made so much easier when someone like your wife steps in with love and compassion to ease their journey. Those individuals are so very, very special.

So sorry for your loss. It really shows how smart your sister was that she knew you needed 2 really good whacks to the head to put you on a path to find a great wife.
