Our thoughts and prayers are with Paul, his dear Isabel, and the Saigh family. We worshipped with Paul and Isabel at St. Maron's for many years, the perfect devout couple to join and lift up our hearts in prayer. Isabel, you and Paul were together a source of comfort we shall always remember. Paul, you truly were (and remain) for us a model of gentle kindness and faith. May you rest with the Lord watching over your dear Isabel. You both remain in our prayers and we hold you close and dear in spirit. With Love, John & Karen Dwaihy

Paul Saigh, a super person. Family orientated; always a very good friend. I had the pleasure, of evanglizing, golf; and just socializing with Paul, and Isabelle. May God have mercy on his soul; and all the souls, of the faithful departed. Mr. & Mrs Richard Saigh
I worked with Paul in Appeals. Sorry for your loss he was a wonderful man.
My deepest condolences to the Saigh family. I worked with Mr. Saigh in IRS-Appeals Office. He was a very nice person.
Paul had a great sense of humor. I and many others will miss him.
Dear Isabel and family,
My deepest sympathy on the passing of Paul. I worked with Paul and what a gentleman of the highest standards. When Paul spoke, people listened.

You are in my thoughts Isabel, our journey to Our Lord is a priceless gift we take for granted. May Jesus and Our Holy Mother embrace dear Paul as he enters internal life. In Jesus, Our Savior, Amen...RIP
My Uncle Paul was the kindest most gentle man there was. I will miss his musings, his love of Tiger baseball and his wonderful sense of humor. I will always love you Uncle Paul may you rest in peace. You certainly deserve it. Your loving niece, Claudia with Olivia Ted and Freya.
Paul was a wonderful man filled kindness and compassion. He was loved by all who knew him and will be truly missed! Rest in peace my friend until we meet again. 🙏🏻
You were more than an Uncle and Godfather. You were a great role model of being a man, husband, and father. You will be greatly missed. However, you will live forever in our hearts and thoughts.
Take care and we will be together at some point in the future.
Uncle Paul, we will surely miss you. Our thoughts and prayers go out for you and your family.
