Paula Mulligan Kostycz, daughter of Margaret Ernestine Riley (1910-1989) and Walter Francis Xavier Mulligan (1906-1957), has a birthday today. Paula is living in southwest Florida, where today’s expected temperature will be about 73 degrees and the skies partly sunny. I’d say that’s just about perfect birthday weather.

Paula is the third born of the four Mulligan siblings. Her sisters are Judy (1938-1962), and Martha, and she has one brother, Kevin. Then, there was that man from Chicago, John Kostycz, who sadly passed away last July. Paula and John had been married for over 50 years.

I recently discovered a photo of Paula and John dancing away at Kathy and my wedding, which is posted below

Happy Birthday, Paula!
