Ms. Pauline,

"Momma" as she was known at St. Mark's was a delightful person. Ask her how she was doing and she would reply, "I'm doing the best that I can"!!! May the Peace of the Lord be with you and your family at this time.

Dear Pauline:

Your mother had such good care that she was able to live beyond what most people can count on these days - a beautiful 101! Remember, what we call death is but the portal through which we enter the stream of Infinite and eternal Life! I bless her as her soul continues to unfold in its experiences to ultimately return to the "Garden of Eden."

Bid her a "Goodnight/Morning," as any darkness she might have experienced has turned into full day and in the Light of God's Love!
