I only met Henrietta once while she was staying with her daughter, Cindy. But I know her last months were on her terms, passing away in one of her daughter's homes, with most of the family present. A gentle way of passing. Rest in Peace. You raised your family well.

Ms. Paetow was my daughters very first babysitter (when she was less than 1 month old) I grew up with Kim & Karen. She cared for my daughter in such a way!! I will be forever grateful!! There is no one else I would have left my new born with!! She read to her, bathed her every night and just treated my daughter like her own!!!! I have told Mallory on more than 1 occasion what a wonderful woman she had in her life at such a young age!! Thank you Ms.Paetow!!
