Jane and Leon, Just want you to know we are praying for you and the whole family.I know the time is so sad but God can give us the strength to get through these days ahead. We will miss our precious Little Friend, She was so special to both Jim and Me. The last time I saw her, she said I would never know how much she loved me. We talked many times of our prayer request to each other, and agreed to pray for them every day. She was a Godly Lady and I appreciate her for the life she lived. One day, with Jesus Christ as Our Savior we will all be together again in Heaven Forever and Ever.May God Bless each one of you is our prayer.
All our Love,
Jim and Brenda Brian
Aunt Pauline,
I will miss you dearly and make sure you tell Grandaddy Bailey and Grandmother Bailey and My mother that I said I miss them every day of my life and love them as I love you. All my thoughts are with your family at this time.
Dear Jane and Leon, Well I don’t what to say except that Aunt Pauline was an amazing, awesome precious person. Mark and I loved her spirit! Even though we didn’t see each other alot she will be dearly missed. She is truly one of Gods little treasure! Please know that Gods Grace is sufficent and he will see you through the difficult days ahead. Please take comfort in knowing Aunt Pauline is completely whole now. Its not goodbye but we will see you in a little while. Its wonderful to know that we can go to her. We love you and our prayers are with you! Mark and Sheila Hoffman
Jane, Leon and family: What a wonderful mother, friend, grand mommie and most of all Christian little lady. She was one of a kind. She is having the time of her life in Heaven and would not return to this world for nothing. I am praying for strength for all of you and comfort because I realize just how very much that LADY will be missed. She loved everyone and always wanted people to come see her. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We all know that is just where Miss Pauline is. Heaven just got more beautiful with her presence. I love all of you and share in you loss. Rely on the Lord and he will get you thru this time. She would just shake her finger at you and tell you I’m happy and I love all of you.
All my love,
Theresa
You are in our prayers. Mrs. Lance has always been a blessing to me ever since I met her and Paul at New Boiling Springs in 1974. I’m sure that she is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord. One day we will meet again and be able to praise Jesus together.
With sincere sympathy,
Tom Crane
Dear Leon and Jane,
I want you to know that my prayers are with you and please lean on our Lord because He is the only one that can really help us in times like this. I loved Pauline very much, going all the way back to the little white church that sat close to the airport…..I know Leon remembers that little church and many a Sunday the Kings would walk down that little dirt road to worship God and be with other christians. Where oh where have all the years gone!
Pauline is happy, healthy and strong. She wouldn’t come back to this old earth for anything. We can all see her again if we accept Jesus as our Savior. God Bless each and every one of you.
