Moving through...

Tomorrow, I'll join Jake and Sara in Irvine for a funeral. My sister's 20 year old son died unexpectedly last Friday night. He had just finished his Sophomore year at Purdue. Paul was a force of nature, and I will miss him terribly.

I have no idea how Megan and Don or Kate or Steph are getting through this.

Here's Paul (with Kate, Steph, Megan/Mom and Don/Dad) at his high school graduation, June 2008.

Here's Paul, a knobby-kneed teen, in 2003. He always had that mischievous grin on his face.

Paul's dad, Don, is running for California Assembly. It's looking likely that Don will win the Republican primary (the votes are still being counted...). Because of Don's political activities, Paul's death is being covered in the news. This article also has some nice photos...
