I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Pauline. I only knew Pauline briefly but she was such a nice and beautifully spirited woman. Just seeing Pauline put a smile on my face. She is now in heaven with Our Lord and her husband Billie

For Mary Leonard (Blanton)
Mary I was sorry to hear of your mother's passing. 30 years ago your act of kindness saved my life and I will be forever grateful to you for that. I was unable to make it to the wake but wanted to at least send you this note and pay my respects. You are a kind hearted woman and that had to come from your mother. sincerely, Jeff Holmes. V.P. Investments Stifel Nicolaus, Geneva Illinois.

Pauline, I will truly miss you. You and Bill were the best friends a person could have. Many hours we spent watching the planes and just sitting round talking, never to be too busy to chat. I truly felt as if I were part of your family thats how welcomed you both made us feel. I feel honored to be able to call you my friend and have wonderful memories of you both. I wish for the girls that their memories will help them through these hard days. You have some truly amazing girls and they have amazing parents. RIP my friend I will miss you dearly.

Dear Nancy, Mary, Margie and Susie,

My heart breaks for all of you. Losing a mother is a very tough thing, especialy one as generous and kind and loving as your mom. I remember walking from my house on Commercial to your house on Saginaw. What a far walk it seemed to be! Your mom and dad always made me welcome and part of the family. My prayers are with you.
