I always thought my Matant Paulone would be the last one standing. She was wise, strong, beautiful and ambitious.  She was really strong, I remember when Thelson dropped the sewing machine on her  foot. It was swollen, she went in the kitchen made her mais, but it on top her foot and tied it up with a piece of cloth and went about her way. Her heart was big, where ever she had a home I had  a home. She and Tonton Tecel took my brother and I in during a difficult time and treated us as their own. It was always Paul, Bart, Katie and Thelson. I was the ONLY.  girl and she always wanted to do my hair. She didn’t care that I was tender headed. Some people are shocked how Haitian strong I am… I have Matante Paulone to thank for that, I still can hear her say”menm si papa ou se Black American, ou se ayisyen” and she was right. She instilled a sense of pride in me that some try to hide. A sense a pride that has kept me out of trouble, provided me career opportunities I never thought I would persue, I can hear her still correcting my creole, but most importantly, she taught me how to cook and bake some the hardest Haitian dishes. From bonbon Amidon to tranpeing fish. I know was a pain as a teenager, but I really appreciated all you did for me, and will forever be grateful that you are my aunt. I love you and promise I will instill the same Haitian pride in my children.

I like the memory of me to be a happy  one
I like to leave an after glow 
Of smiles when the day is done 
I like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the way,
Oh happy times, laughing times,
bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve
to dry before the sun 
Of happy memories that I left behind 
When the day is done!

My sincere condolences to all of the families special Mr Tesell and all his sons May God continue to bless you with more strength and courage 🙏 💪
