I am the granddaughter of Emily Mercado Caravalho sister to Anita Mercado Flores, Paulettes mom. This is the first I have ever known of Paulette and her family. I am heartily sorry for your loss. We have been searching for my grandmas family for many years. She passed in 2004. If anyone would like to contact me I would love to correspond with you. May Paulette be at peace with her family in Heaven. God bless you all. [email protected] Shannon Rice
Always in our Heart! Much Aloha!
When I last corresponded with Paulette by email this summer she was full of excitement about all her projects near and far. She said that, "All is in a very good busy space." It was such an honor to know her and work with her. I will never forget her amazing positive energy that infused our meetings. We will continue our work in Paulette's memory and dedicate the upcoming catalogue and exhibition to her. My sincere condolences,

Mom loved life and lived it to the fullest! Her message was for everyone to live everyday to the fullest....life is too short! She loved the Lord, trusted in Him completely and loved Him with her whole heart and soul. Now she walks with Him and will watch us......always! I love you, mom, to the moon and back!
I will miss Aunty's smiling face. She was a valuable Commissioner in Culture and the Arts for Mayor Kirk Caldwell. She was also a beautiful Queen for the City and County of Honolulu. I will pule for her soul and of course for the OHANA. me ka aloha, Misty Kela`i, Executive Director of Culture and the Arts.
Aloha Rodney and Mele and other family members,
Paulette was such a lovely person and so full of aloha every time I would meet her. I hope that you will keep the legacy of her and your grandmother/mother alive and continue the feather work which is so important. If there is any memorial fund being set up, please let us know.
I am very saddened by her passing but I will cherish her presence through you.
