I was deeply saddened to just learn of Paulette's passing. I always missed having her family and her next door. It has been several years since her passing, but I'm sure all her love and memories remain fresh. Bless you all.

I would like to thank everyone who sent wishes for my Mom and our Family through cards, phone calls and flowers. It was greatly appreciated. My Mom was a kind and caring woman who cared about others more then herself. She will be greatly missed for all of the things that she did for others. Alot of us will not be getting cards from her anymore...it was special to always receive the mail. My Mom's time was to short but she lived a full life and it can be seen through the people around her. Next time someone is sick or celebrating an event, please send out a card and it will always honor her memory.
Sicerely,
Anthony
