Dearest Nephew Paul, I remember seeing you for the 1st time in your crib at home with your parents near Quantico Marine Base - I was 7 years older than you. You were always like my little brother.We came down from Yonkers,N.Y. to see you & shower you with love.The years fly too quickly & now you are gone from this earthly home.Your Uncle Bobby Norbutt died of Lung Cancer January 22, 2008.The last time I saw him was here in Va. when your Dad died.You died on your Dad's birthday, I wonder if there was a party going on in heaven when you got there.Your Uncle Bobby was also a CPA; too bad we never got to know the grown up Paul. While we always loved you we could have spent many moments bragging about you to other family & friends had we only known of your accomplishments.I remember when you were "in a band" while you were in jr.high/high school.I am sad we won't have the chance to reminisce about the "old days".We will miss you dearly, remember you fondly.I bet you are up in heaven playing cards, & getting ready to go fishing with your Grandpa Al, your Dad Alfred, and your Uncle Bobby. As tears are falling down my cheeks I will whisper a sad, sweet,goodbye. If this was a perfect world, with a perfect family we would have enjoyed many happy times thru our adult life with many good memories to recall...but alas all we are filled with is a hurting longing for "whatmighthavebeens", what do you think, sound good, am I right? You will be missed by many, just as you were loved by many - myself included.Tell everyone there I hope to live to 100 at least so I won't be seeing you for a long time. Love you always & forever,smooches, Aunt Linda & family xxx
