Dear Kirk, Monica, Beth, Stephanie, and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Paulette’s passing. We can take comfort knowing she’s with her beloved Bobby once again as well as with Our Lord and Savior.
Your mother was one of the kindest people on Earth. Always welcoming others into her life and family as if we were family.
I’ve known your parents for over 60 years, as your Grandmother Margaret and her brother were brought into my Grandparent’s home, Joseph and Lila Ganim, when they were orphaned as young children.
Your father and I enjoyed many wonderful visits at Doc’s Harley-Davidson Dealership through the years along with some really awesome rides together on our machines!
The good work Paulette did through her time at US Bank helped so many, including myself. She was truly a friend to all. And loved by all who knew her in whatever way.
But the best gift she gave to the world was her love of the Maronite Faith, her devotion in marriage to her husband and the four wonderful children she raised who also became friends to us all. To Marie and I as well.
Please be assured of my prayers for all of you. I think of your parents as often as I do my own who passed away many years ago.
Paulette was a light to the world. Living her faith in all her friendships, work and many, many kindnesses she did to others.
Your friend in Christ,
Nick
Nick,
We cannot thank you enough for the beautiful sentiment for our sweet mother. While it will take some time to find our new normal here, you are so right, she is with the love of her life again.
All our love & best to you & Marie
