You may be gone from this earth but it is not forever. It is so long till we all meet again in Heaven. There will not be a day that goes by that we don't miss your smile, laughter and your stubbornness. Mommy, we love you and will carry on all your goodness and wonderful gracefulness through out the rest of our lives. We can hear your shouts from Heaven.

Dear Shelia and Family,
We are sorry for the loss of your Mother. Take comfort in knowing that Pauline is in the Lords care. Our thoughts are with you.
We would like to share a poem that we find helps when mourning the loss of a loved one. It’s called Miss me but let me go.
When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
why cry for a soul set free
miss me but let me go.
Miss me a little but not too long
and not with a head bowed low,
Remember the love we once shared
miss me but let me go.
For this is a journry that we must all take
and each must go alone,
its all part of the masters plan
a step on the road to home
miss me but let me go.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to friends we know
and bury your sorrow in doing good deeds
miss me but let me go.

Dear Al, Pam, Mike, Levon, Nick, Ryan & Family,
Amy and I are so sorry over the passing of your mother.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
It is said that when someone dies, an angle comes down and takes that person under their wings and fly’s them over every place they’ve every loved. Just before lifting them up to heavens gate; the angle helps gather flowers to give to our Lord.
Rest assured, Pauline is home…
my heart and pray’s go out to you and your family…God bless
Dear Almeria and Family,
Just to tell you I have been praying and will continue to pray.. I am so sorry for your loss.. But we know that GOD will carry you through.. Your Mom is only across JORDAN, and she is fine now.. and the Peace that passes all understanding will see you through this time.. Psalm 18:2 is a great help..she is with the Almighty One as we all will be one day.. Just think what a family reunion that will be..All Honor , all Praise to the Three Times HOLY GOD..
Love and Prayers, Pat
Dear Almeria,
Over the years Morgan has shared many stories of you and your mother that have made me laugh since they remind me of Morgan and myself. Both of you are ‘sparky’ young women, and if your mother was anything like me, I am sure she must have wanted to light a fire to you–somewhere! She must have been very proud of you and with every good reason. I know how you will miss her and my love and sympathy are with you and your family.
Wendy and Joe Bell
Almeria, You know you and your Family are in my thoughts and prayers. Mothers are always our special angels from the time we are born til the time they are watching over us in heaven.I know your Mom is watching over all of you now and still protecting and loving you.

Almeria and family,
I got to know your mother over the years and she was certainly a strong, classy lady. She never gave up, but she is not struggling any longer, she is with God and now she can watch over all of you from Heaven. She is in my prayers as well as all of you, that God will give you strength and solace to bear this loss. May you find peace in Him.
Mommy, I love you so much. I dont know how I will ever get thru each day without you. I wish I could hear your voice and talk to you one more time.
Nanny, We still had so many things to do. You still need to teach me how to make biscuits. I will keep you foreve in my heart and I will grow up to be the man you wanted me to be with you beside me. I love you so much nanny. I will never forget teaching you to play the xbox and all the things you let me do that my mom would not let me. Thanks for not letting her spank me when I needed it. You are the greatest nanny in the whole world. I love you Nic
Pauline brought many smiles to Pisgah Manor and we are grateful for the opportunity to have known her. God Bless all the family.
Almeria & Family,
Pauline was such a special lady and we are going to miss her bright smile & ‘joking personality’ at Pisgah Manor. She loved to play bingo and all the Residents miss her and say bingo is not the same without her. She contributed much fun and spunk to the Activity Program here and I feel both blessed and fortunate to have had the opportunity to know her. We miss her already, however I often smile when I think of her and that special twinkle in her eyes as she would roll past my office to join in the fun with her friends here at Pisgah Manor. My prayers are with each of you. God Bless you and thanks for sharing her with us!
Hi Mom, Am not sure why today, but I sure would like to talk to you and I do alot your just not here. I miss my mom so much. I cry for you alot which helps. Each time I visit Ricky, I see you in his face.Maybe I am selfish I just wish you were here. I thank god for the life he gave you for 87 yrs. It was hard but you did it. I love you so much mom and at least I know you are fine. Shelia, oldest left and the lesser one

Dear Almeria, Mike and Nick, We are so sorry for your loss. Nick I know how much Nanny meant to you – she always had a special place in your heart and yours in hers. Over time I hope you realize that she will be with you always.
They say time heals all wounds but we must never forget our pasts and cherish the presious moments we shared together.
We were very sorry to learn of Pauline’s death. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we saw her at the funeral home when Roy Lee passed away. We will keep all of you in our thoughts.

To MOM WITH ALL MY LOVE. Thanks for the life you gave me Hope you and Brian are having fun playing in god’s playground. We know you are swinging and laughing for sure. So sorry you had to go thru so much pain before going on thru and I am so thankful I held your hand til the last breath. Don’t worry we all will stick together as long as we are here. We talked that one time a few weeks ago on what you wanted. I tried to do what you said and so did the rest. Ricky is good and will remain so as we can do. All of us hurt and Nic and I made mac and cheese at midnight and he and I played games til 3. He will be ok am sure. We Love You and miss you so much. Just hope I can be the woman you were.
