GP was truly at the heart of a lot of my decisions growing up. She was a fearless woman and a true caregiver. She taught me so many things from how to properly make a bed, or set the table, which flowers attract butterflies, how to catch a lightning bug, and much much more. She was my Confirmation Sponsor and I still remember the day I called and asked her, and how excited she was. On the big day, she was so kind and comforting. She was also so proud and excited when I told her I got accepted into and was attending the college she, Grandpa Joe, and Addy all attended (Quinnipiac).
No one could make a grilled cheese or chocolate milkshake like her and for a while, I refused to eat or drink either because I only liked them when she made them. She introduced us to broccoli casserole and my brothers and I still maintain our grip on making sure it is part of every holiday meal.
She sparked my love for Halloween at a young age when she started sending us Boo Baskets every year. I remember waiting by the door every day, waiting for the package as soon as October 1st came. She used to have this dollhouse that she decorated and crafted to look like a haunted house. I used to stare at it for hours wishing I could shrink myself and walk around in it. She used to tell me stories of a house in Newtown that was haunted and I remember visiting the house on Halloween when I was 8, and I couldn't wait to tell her about it when I got home from trick-or-treating. Every Halloween to this day, I think of her and how special she made it.
GP showed us how to play my favorite Christmas Eve game; The Night Before Christmas. This year will be different but I have no doubt she will be looking down on us and reading along to make sure we pass our gifts on every 'AND'. No one reads that book like her, but I feel so lucky to have watched her do it year after year.
I miss you so much Grandma Paulie. I hold all of these things and memories so close to my heart, especially now. I see you in so many things in traditions and I will carry them with me for the rest of my life. Thank you for teaching me so many things and being there for me for so many years. I love you dearly, and you will be missed by so many.

Paulette "GP" jumped right into becoming a caring mother-in-law and grandmother. She attended several events the kids had growing up and planned many family holidays full of games, love and FOOD! Her laugh was infectious, and her hugs made you want to keep holding on. I am going to miss her and her stories of having the kids over during the summers, their special trips and showing them all the good restaurants in CT. She loved that story when she tossed three-year-old Joe Joe into the deep end, and I almost jumped in with my clothes... she taught him to "pop back up". She loved to remind me of the story of Jenna using her first porta potty at the cancer survivor walk and Jenna updating her "no offense Grandma Paulie, my mom does not like those kinds of bathrooms". Paulette told her it would make for a long day of misery. It all worked out because, "they had fancy sinks". Hahaha. Justin was definitely her early morning buddy who gave her the nickname "GP". She told me one day after work that was her new nickname and she loved it! The two of them one Christmas Eve before midnight mass, put an elaborate lemon cake mold of cars and a sled display for Santa to eat that night instead of cookies. When we got home from Mass, the sled was completely GONE! The dogs had taken it from the counter. So so many memories. I will hold her close to my heart. Rest in Peace our sweet GP. We love you so much and will see you again.
