Paulette was always my "baby" sister. I remember playing with her and dressing her up like a living doll since I was almost ten years older. We shared a love of kittens and puppies. She had fun pestering and blackmailing me and Dave when we were dating which at times we did not appreciate. We didn't see much of Paulette and her family since we lived so far apart. We always enjoyed the times we did spend together. Kids - remember your Mom with love and happiness. She loved her family very much. Please accept our deepest sympathy. We are sorry due to personal circumstances, that we will not be able to attend Paulette's Memorial Service. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

With our deepest Sympathy:
When those we love have left this earth, we still can feel them near. We'll see a picture, hear a song, and its just like they are here. And when we call upon our faith, when we believe and trust, we know the ones we care about are always close to us.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Aunt Paulette. My most vivid memory of Aunt Paulette is her sense of humor and how she always seemed to have an upbeat attitude. My prayers are with the entire family and I wish you God's peace and comfort during this time.

First time I met Paulette she had just moved to our street in California from New York. She came to ask simple questions about schools and where things where and asked me over for Coffee. That was the beginning of years of conversations and coffe with about 6 women from our street. I will never forget the information, and talks we had. All of us were trying to be new age, womens lib was something we talked about and while our kids played together we would discuss the problems of the world and our differances to how we felt about God, politics, and child development. Paulette had a way about her like no one I have even met then or now. She welcomed everyone to her home and we used to have some pretty interesting conversations. No one ever got mad about those differances. I will never forget her or the memories I have. I will truly miss her and God Bless her family. She also gave me they blessed honor to be Katrina's God Mother.

I moved to Ankeny 15 years ago and Paulette became my very best friend. She instilled in me to respect everyone's right to be different and to think outside the box. Everything is not just black and white. She guided me to live in the 'big city'. She taught me to let things be and live - live - live. I was always afraid this time would come and I would loose a wonderful friend. And it has, but the memories we made together will sustain me. Paulette, you now have your wings, so 'you go girl!!' My God's peace and understanding help her family through this termendous loss.
