PaPe says…

I am ROMAN’s PA PE. First, as ROMAN would want me to do, thank all of you for being in ROMAN’s life and GOD bless. It has been a week since ROMAN got his heavenly wings. I wake up every morning feeling sorry for myself and then ROMAN puts me on his shoulders and puts an idea into my mind and heart, the task I need to do to make me feel good about myself and this is my task for today. First he wants me to thank everyone he has touched and helped in any small way because I believe Roman got more pleasure and love from giving that feeling to you then you received. ROMAN lived a Godly life: better to give then receive, so in his humanly way he was just like all of us he wanted to receive also. Remember in GOD, giving is receiving.

Since Thursday I have been thinking of all the wonderful feelings and joy I received that day. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know those feelings. The support and strength you saw in everyone, especially his immediate family was coming from ROMAN. Roman would cry when he saw anyone he loved cry and would comfort them. Thursday ROMAN took everyone on his shoulders, not only family, I choose to believe it was everyone there. He carried us so we could have the strength to make him happy and not have the desire to cry with us.

As I got older in life, I was looking for an earthly sign from GOD in my humanly weakness to see, to feel, to touch. Thursday I received it in my heart as I am sure many of you did also. ROMAN has reminded me of God saying, “THOMAS, BECAUSE THOU HAS SEEN ME, THOU HAS BELIEVED. BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HAVE NOT SEEN, AND YET HAVE BELIEVED.” ROMAN and I have a request of you today. The last thing Roman did daily was to say 2 Hail Mary’s; many of his family members have begun doing it. ROMAN and I ask you to begin doing it nightly. A couple of minutes nightly, throw him the ball and give him the opportunity to score with it . Love PA PE and God bless.
