Mrs. Hauser was a wonderful woman. I worked for MDN for the summer when I was in college and both of my daughters attended Memorial Day Nursery. She treated parents, staff and children with respect and love. It was a blessing to have known her. She was special. Once a person interacted with her she was hard to forget. May God comfort her family at this time of loss.

I'm not sure I ever met Georgette, however, I do remember speaking to her several times on the telephone regarding different students. I remember being very impressed by her kindness and intellect. The world is misssing another angel.

I am going to miss so much my dear Mrs. Hauser. I dont know how or what am I going to do, when I pass by her home and not see her, look at her home number and not call her. Mrs. Hauser was so caring and strong. She was a Lady with class. A Lady that gave so much without expecting anything in return. I still can hear her say "I love you Sweetie" and I would reply "I love you more". Today I'm thankful to have known such a unique lady. She was a fabulous well respected Director and all my co-workers, community and myself. Paterson have lost a pioneer in the Paterson History. I loved her dearly. There were days when I would visit and we would spend hours just talking about anything and everything. I enjoyed so much her company. A minute spend with Mrs. Hauser would be like entering the discover channel, I learned so much. "Dorca, everyday we make decisions, never ask, just do it". This line was my favorite. May the family find peace and acceptance to God's calling. I love you Mrs. Hauser. :)
