Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Love, Don and Becky Driver
We are thinking aboutvyour family and lifting you in prayer. I will always treasure our last conversation a few weeks ago. We will definitely miss you Aunt Pauline.
I am so sorry to hear of your Mama’s passing. She was always so kind to me and Edna, you have that same trait. I will always remember her smile and laugh. I have been praying for the family and also the caregivers. I know what that is like and it takes a while to fill the void that is left. Mrs Pauline was loved and will be missed by so many. Lots of love and prayers to you all.
