  1. You couldn’t ever ask for a better mother than I was lucky to have. I will dearly miss her. Now there is a hole in my heart that someday when we meet again will be repaired. RIH Mom I love you to rhe moon and back

  2. She was the best grandma and GG a girl could ask for. She lit up when my son would walk into the room and would run over and give her a hug. I spent many summers in Florida with her and grandpa and made so many memories. I love you to the moon and back grandma/GG. RIH

  3. Mom….I can’t believe you are gone. You were by best friend and my shoulder to cry on. I truelly can’t imagine life without you. My heart is breaking so. I miss you so much mom. I can’t stop crying. Someday my tears will change from sad to happy. I have always been so proud to call you MOM. You and dad raised 6 wonderful kids and I know both of you are so very proud of us. I will see you both again someday. You were the glue to our family. Now we know we have to take your place. Please know mom that we will keep our family as close as we are today but it will be hard without you. I love you mom and will see you again someday.

  4. I am so sorry for your loss. Pauline was a special lady. May God wrap his arms around each of you and show you the peace and comfort that only comes from him. I know she will be missed and her memory will live on in each of you.

  5. How do you begin to tell your MOM…goodbye!! I don’t know where to begin….She was a PHENOMENAL person…a truly loving wife, MOM, grandma, GG, aunt, great aunt, nurse….PERSON. She never judged….loved us all unconditionally! She was the backbone to our family..she kept us all on level ground. There is a hole in my heart that will never heal….I only know that I was truly blessed and HONORED to be your daughter…THANK YOU, MOM!….I love you dearly, you will be forever missed!

  6. “We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.” Grandma, it’s hard to believe that you are really gone. I’m glad you are no longer in pain and I know you prayed a long time for this day but we will all miss you so much. I’m glad my girls are old enough to always remember you. Thank you for the blessings of a large family and for all the wonderful memories you left behind. Tell Grandpa hello. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand. RIH. We love you. Carisa, Kylee and Malia ߒœ

  7. I am so sad to hear that your mother/grandmother has passed away. I am her 1st cousin: she is the oldest grandchild and I am the youngest. I remember her laugh and her smile. I really wish I knew her better.
