I spent the day trying to formulate
something, anything to say for today’s post. I can’t. I wanted to do a tribute
to Paul and I will, but not now. His memory consumes every moment for us. The
pain felt by his wife, our dear friend, and his children are constantly with
us. As I tried to pull something together I realized simply, that there is no
more room in my brain or my heart. So thank you, all of you, for your
understanding and wishes. His funeral is on Saturday. We gather at 11 and the
service is at 1pm Toronto time. If you can, if you would, please take a moment
during that day and send strength and peace to all of us, but especially to his
family. They will surely need it. In the near future I will post something
about Paul with scenes from his work. You will begin to understand what a loss
this is. I feel supported by all of you incredible people. Thank you, one and
all. Love each other, support each other. Go places. Do things. Say I love you
to those you love.
With love and thanks, Deb
Not surprising Deb, what an incredible shock for all of you who loved, worked and laughed with him. The shock is too great. I am glad you gave us a time on Saturday, I am sure all your friends here will send you and everyone involved in the funeral strong and peaceful vibes at 1 o'clock. You and your family be good to each other and stay close.....you will pass your strength and love on to Linda and her girls. I am incredibly sorry for this great loss in your lives. Big hug to you all ((((()))))
ReplyDeleteStrength and love beaming to everyone saying goodbye on Saturday. Funerals can be so beautiful when it is a celebration of a life truly well lived- your dear friend sounds like he certainly lived his life to the full with wonderful friends and family surrounding him. xo

His family and friends and anyone that knew him has our prayers Deb. I will pray strength and heeling over you all. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteDeb, you are all in my thoughts. My heart goes out to his friends and family.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you and those who loved him. The day you say goodbye to someone you loved is awfully hard. I'm saying goodbye to a dear friend today and I had no idea how hard it would hit me until I woke up this morning.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we just don't have anything left to say. You will be in my prayers this weekend. I love you all!!

No words. Holding all of you in the light.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, so very much. xo
ReplyDelete*BIG HUG*. X
DeleteWe love you, Deb, and we are here for you. Will be thinking of you now and throughout the weekend. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. Love to you and all those that need it. xo
ReplyDeleteWe would have understood if you had chosen not to post anything. I think you are giving so much, even though you might think you are not. Lots of warm feelings to all.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I'm so sad for your loss. Take whatever time you need to grieve, help the grieving, be with your loved ones and reflect. I'm sending a hug your way.
ReplyDeleteYou titled this post nothing to give but I think you are giving everything you have. You are giving your all to assist his family I am sure and here you are in the middle of your personal grief taking time to give us an update and give us all something to keep in mind over the comming days. Sending love and strength <3.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I am so sorry to hear about this. I was a little lost when I read the previous blog, so I did a little searching with some of the things you and the others said about this person named Paul having worked on Getting Along Famously. When I found the news on the net of who it was, I was saddened. I loved his character on the show. I don't have much to say since I am not good at times like these, but I just want to let you now that my thoughts and prayers are with his family and you all. May the Lord provide strength and comfort to you all.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, when you've said all you have to say, there's nothing left. I will leave with a quote from one of my favorite shows:
ReplyDelete"When you do everything you can, sometimes more than you thought you could, you've got to walk away knowing you fought the good fight. You fought the good fight. And tomorrow you'll fight another one."
Deb -
ReplyDeleteWe are all right there with you, holding you. I hope you can sense that.
{{{LOVE}}}
I'm sending you all the love I possibly can. My prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteI am attending a One Human Family gospel choir workshop in Saskatoon this weekend and that's where I'll be tomorrow while you are at Paul's funeral. When the many voices sing out together all these beautiful melodies rendered in baritone, tenor, alto and soprano--oh the sound!-- and my heart is so joyously moved by the beauty of it, I will remember you and send deep strength to your heart across the miles.
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog. It really is a small world. My daughter received a call from her friend, Laura. It sounded like one of those bad news phone calls. And so it was. Laura's uncle died in an auto accident. His name is Paul. Same Paul. How tragic. Condolences to all who knew and loved him.
ReplyDeleteDeb- we are here if you need us to "talk" to. There is no textbook way to grieve it's personal and comes in waves. If there's anything we can do to support you or Paul's family please let us know! : ( Much cyber hugs being sent to you and Colin and Barb!
ReplyDeleteSuch a tragic loss. Sending love...
