George was a guardian angel to Paulette. He was everything on earth to Paulette; her hands, and feet, her eyes, but never her mouth. Paulette could speak for herself and did not ever need the help of anyone in this area. If you know here, you will appreciate that she spoke her mind.

Paulette was very meticulous about herself, her food and her environment. She was a “Golden Lady” with a splashes of blue. Due to health issues, she could have easily been all blue but with Paulette, suffering looked natural and almost easy because she wore pain, suffering and afflictions like the cape of a superhero. She never looked like what she was going through and had been through.
