It is with deep respect for his passion and sincere condolences to his family that we pay tribute to his life and honor him in death.

In a blink all time stops
the Lord gives a heavenly nod
Our friend Paulo slipped the searly bonds of earth
and touched the face of god

May our friend find eternal rest
