Toni and Family,We were very sad when my cousin Paul passed but I share your feelings about how blessed you were with him and your boys.Several things I've always remembered about Paul were his beautiful blue eyes: "My Aunt Gus and Uncle Ed" and Paul's "Big Bear" St. Bernard.Chuck and I will do our best to be in Decatur on Monday but I never know how my breathing and physical strength is until each morning.God be with all of you Skelleys and Huhnes.

Toni,I really appreciated Paul sharing memories of Dad (Edward) post his death in 2008. I learned things about Dad I never knew thanks to Paul. He passed this information along during a few of our family gatherings at Janet's house. I'm glad Mary and I got to visit with you and Paul back in February on his birthday. You have our deepest sympathy. Paul will be missed!Love,Richard & Mary Skelley
Lit a candle in memory of Paul F. Skelley
I have many memories of Uncle Paul, Uncle Bud and my Dad in the garage on Linden Ave. Dad always had something he was working on and Uncle Paul and Bud were the consultants. The projects usually turned out well, but every once in a while, the results weren't want they wanted. They all could laugh together and start on plan B. I know you will all miss him greatly. You have my deepest sympathy.Paul's niece — Nancy Skelley
Toni, our prayers are with you. I have some very fond memories of shooting with Paul and his boys and our fun conversations when he called to ask me I to serve mass. Linda and I will not be able to attend the Mass of Christian Burial for Paul because we will be out of town next week. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you or your family.Linda and Bill Busbey
Dear Toni and Family,Our sincere condolences in your loss of Uncle Paul. We were saddened to hear of his death but know how alive and pain-free he is now after his graduation to glory. It's those of us left behind that feel the pain but the happy memories ease that pain. He is still with y'all and if you look for the God Moments, he will show you. Blessings to you all. Our memories are special of Paul – sweet, caring, fun to talk to and a precious smile that made us smile in the few times we were fortunate enough to see you two.Love and prayers,Gordon, Carol, and Jared with Chase from Heaven.
