Some of my favorite memories are around the gatherings that used to be in the backyard at their house in Manchester. The time Pepe told uncle Paul. Paul that that’s long enough the food‘s getting cold when he said his Thanksgiving blessing. I am thankful and very fortunate to have that time with him. I will not be able to go to Florida to the services. However, I will be going to chapel and mass to pray for and with uncle Paul God bless Sharon.
