Dear Paul, Melissa, Paul Robert, Andrew and Luke,



We're so very sorry for all of you. This is a difficult period but remember the happy family times you shared with your father and grandpa. You'll always have the memories - they last forever.

All our love and thoughts are with you.

Paul and Melissa,



Read about Paul's dad in the paper today. Am so sorry. Shawn and I send our thoughts and prayers to you. I also lost my Mom in 2000, and Shawn lost his Dad in 2002, which so we know what you are going through.



Hang on to the memories, as nobody can ever take them away.

Stay in touch.



Fondly,



Frank Andonoplas and Shawn Wojahn

Dear Paul, Melissa and Family,



Harry and I want to extend our deepest sympathy. We were going to come back to Illinois but on short notice the cost was outrages. Harry can remember when your dad and him were children how they enjoyed your dad's comic books and magnetic pic-up sticks. Funny how little things bring back fond memories. I remember when we would be together when Grandma Olson was alive and what a happy time we had as a family. Our prayers our with you and your family. Even though we can't be with you at this time you are in our thoughts.



Love from Cousins,

Fran & Harry

My prayers and sympathy on the very sudden and tragic death of Paul. He attended our hospital group on Tuesday afternoon so I saw him hours before the accident. He appeared happy and open to lead the September group. We Ann and I will miss him very much.

Know of our prayers. Sr. Doris Recker
