To the entire Heaslip Family and freinds, my sincerest condolances. I was very saddened to hear of Paul's passing. Paul was always someone that when you saw him walk through the door, you instantly felt better. We had many a conversaions and his insights and wit were always most welcome. Paul touched so many people and he loved all of his volunteer work. I will miss him but will never forget him. May the good Lord bless you all and hold yo in the palm of his hand until you meet again. Dennis C.
