To Merle:
Paulette was a very special person, and she was truly loved by many. I can remember the times we sit out on my porch and talked half the night. I will never forget her. Merle, your Mom loved you, and you were the center of her joy. I know you will miss her, and mourn her, but your greatest gift to her is,to excel in life and be all you can be. That will make her proud and happy. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and if there is anything I can do for you, please freely let me know. May God bless you and your Family in the days ahead. And keep looking up.

To the family of Paulette, my big sister:
Death is when your loved ones must depart
Death is a sharp pain to the heart
Death is a feeling of permanent sadness and pain
Death is when your loved ones have forever gone away
Death is a call to heaven
Death is an eternal mansion
Death is a lesson to learn about
Death is a loss, without a doubt
Death is an unhappy feeling to have
Death is unpleasant on anyone's behalf.
Let live with all the memories of Life.
You childhood friend from Chestnut Ave...
