Our condolences to Jim and their family, I first met Paulette when I was a freshman at Del Val and they were seniors. She was always smiling and friendly to everyone. With that, I will say, that is how someone would want to be remembered, as well as, a great mother and grandmother. Happy memories for all of you, she was a great friend to all that she knew. Hugs to all of you so sorry for your loss. Richard and Fran Petiet

Mr Day and family! I am truly sad to read of the passing of Paulette. I have truly missed seeing her. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting her family and doing her hair for over 15 years.

Aah Paulette, how your good humor and loving nature has tangled with us all. Showing your life’s community & old DVR HS friends the way: from Milford’s best jitterbug dancer, how to do a great successful marriage, raise worthy kids, age gracefully, & on & on, all within merging our lives with your and Life's Love. You are now and have always been an Angel among Angels.

Dear Jim and family, I am so sorry that I couldn't attend the service for Paulette last Saturday. Covid restrictions have made it difficult in my current immune compromised condition to get out and about as normal. Apologies. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers in the coming days and weeks. We have experienced great loss recently and fell your pain. We pray for healing and comfort in your loss. You & Paulette will always be special especially when remembering our school days. I was a real Fan of your football career and remember you carrying me across the gym floor during gym class one time. Quite a heavy burden
