Paul Laperle’s Signature

I was immediately saddened when I heard the news of Paul's passing. I have known Paul for 20 years. He and his family have become part of my family. He was always so inviting and loving towards me and my husband kids. He was round of his family and wouldn’t miss any family gathering or outing. When you asked him how he was he always replied; “blessed or better than I deserve!” He cared about people and their relationship with The Lord. Watching him look adoringly at his wife during his 50th wedding anniversary just showed how much he loves his wife and lived for her. The way he looked and talked about his kids and grandchildren was always with so much pure love! They all made him so proud. He left this earth knowing where he was headed and I find comfort in knowing he is there waiting for us all! 

My sincere condolences to my first cousin, Dolly and the rest of the family for your loss. I will be praying you all.    Rick Darner, Xenia Ohio

Christmas

This Christmas will be cherished forever! My father Paul Laperle expressed his wish to his Heavenly Father that he wanted to live through the holidays to be with his family one last season. Dad’s favorite holiday was Christmas. He often shared fond memories of his childhood Christmases with family, gifts and food. We had lots of fun dreaming up the perfect Christmas experience and sharing it with the Dream Foundation. When they called dad and told him that they were working on his dream, tears of excitement and joy flowed down his cheeks . After some planning and heavenly intervention the family packed their bags and headed up to snow country for Christmas! There was the perfect amount of snow on the ground and the house was the exact size our family needed for a long relaxing Christmas stay together! Once we settled in, the gang did what most loving families do. We embraced every moment together by playing games, cooking and eating tons of food, sharing fun memories, celebrating Jesus’s birth and opening tons of gifts. We wished that we did not need to sleep so as to not miss or waste any time. This dream Christmas together was super special, valued and embraced with love. It bonded our family connections even more tightly. That’s all dad wanted. He wanted his children to carry on God, family, tradition and unconditional love for each other. After Christmas dad got weaker. He passed away on January 14 at 11am with his children and wife at his bedside. Thanks to the Dream Foundation for making dad’s final days beautiful and fulfilling an even more precious wish than provisions. They provided closure for my father’s biggest dream yet, that his children and grandchildren recognized and valued each other and the legacy he treasured with all his heart. Their gift will be a gift that will never be forgotten and will last forever.  https://www.dreamfoundation.org/
