We were so very sorry to hear of Paulette's passing. She was a wonderful blessing to us. She always had a smile for us whenever we visited with Mary's mother at Independence Village. Mom always talked kindly of Paulette and was so very fond of her. She will be greatly missed by the staff and residents of IVEL. She was a beautiful and godly woman. She has now reached her reward and has heard Jesus say, "Well done, thy good and faithful servant.

Paulette made all the difference in my mother's stay at Indepenedence Village. Everything she did, every 'hello,' every conversation showed she cared very specifically for each and every tenant. When she flashed a smile or offered a full laugh, you would know that all was right in her world...and that world was about her family: her family at home or her family at Independence Village. She was indeed special.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Heidi and Jordan, also to your grandparents and aunts and uncles. I worked with your mom at The Village. We shared a lot of memories from there. The two of you were the light of her life. She was so very proud of you. She will be missed by many. She had a heart of Gold. She is with your Dad-whom she truly loved. God bless you and comfort you at this time and always.
