    Paul, My sympathy to you and your family, having just lost my son this year to cancer; I can only give my best thoughts and prayers for you. Such a vibrant person, quick wit and true to the Sullivan culture. This is truly tragic at such a young age, it makes us older folks put things into perspective.

I wish you peace, Sull, and that you feel the love we have for you. I wish for just one more day with you. Please hold mom tight and continue watching over her... She needs some peace.

I miss our chats, your smile, your hug reasurring me things will be ok, your voice... I miss everything. I am so angry, not understanding why this happened to you... Why this happened to us, is what's the worst. I would give anything to have things be different, to have you here.

I miss you, Sull. I love you
