We extend our sincere sympathy to the whole family on the loss of you mother. God has blessed you with many years of her love and fine examples and that will be a special blessing in the months to come. Wish we could have been with you to offer hugs of comfort, but we are in Florida until next April.
May God bless all of you.

We wish to express our condolences
to all of you.
Aunt Pauline was always special to us, especially to me as we share the same middle name.
We will always remember her love of her family and life, as well as her wonderful sense of humor and her infectious giggle.
As much as you will all miss her, we will miss her too. Remember she is in a better place and is now with Uncle Ray and all those who have gone before.
Blessings to you all, eventhough we are not able to be with you in person.
Love, Stu, Ruth, and family

God's blessings for comfort and strength to all of you, especially to Linda Sowerby, my former parishioner, as you mourn the loss of your mother. Thank the Lord for such a long life; the fourth commandment promise of "living long on the earth" has come true for her!
