My heart, condolences, and prayers goes out to your entire family during this such difficult time. I am the sister of one of Paul’s best friend Jeremy. I didn’t really get to know Paul personally, but had to chance to meet him a couple of times. He always had such a bright smile and a delightful spirit. He was always willing to help others, which included my parents, Mr.& Mrs. David Conte, and myself when I moved to my apartment. He will truly be missed. May God bless you and give you the strength and courage to get you through your loss, and keep you in His Grace.
Dear Laura, Rocco and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May you find strength from above and from family and friends. Know that you are loved. My thoughts and prayers are with you, God bless you.
Paul was amazing in every way. I hadn’t known him long, but just from our conversations outside of class this year I knew that he was somebody special. Paul was the kind of guy that never said anything bad about anybody. He was quiet, and didn’t need to “shout out” how special he was—- he just was. I send my condolences to his family. I’ll miss him always. I know that he’s at peace in God’s kingdom and that we’ll all see him again someday. Cuz if anyone is in Heaven right now, it’s him. Love you Paul. If there’s a Contracts class in Heaven, I’ll be sitting right next to you, my friend.
I’m am terribly sorry for your lose. Paul was one of the nicest people I have ever meet and the world lost a great man today. I wish everyone the best and know that Paul will be watching over the Marando family. God Bless
Laura and Rocco our hearts and prayers are with you during this time of great loss.
