My heart is heavy as I have just learned of Pauline's passing. She was a wonderful woman who loved her family very much. My prayers are with the family praying that God will give you peace knowing she is resting under his wing.

To all Pauline's sweet family,
I have so many wonderful memories of your dear Mom. She was a dear loving friend with such a big heart of compassion for everyone she came in contact with.
She always saw the best in each person. She was filled with kindness and compassion and a servants spirit.
I was blessed to share many different times with her.
One thing we both enjoyed was an outing for yogurt. Since she had gotten weaker, we just went thru the drive thru and sat in car.
As we were eating, a little rain shower came up, and we both were blessed with an unexpected magnificent rainbow.
I can still remember the joy and excitement and thrill it brought her.
She blessed me and so many others.
My heart is so sad and I will miss her so much.
I think Jesus just said, Pauline, time to come home. Your pain and suffering are over. You fought a good fight.
Enter into the joy of the Lord. Take your rest.
Because He Lives, she is more alive
than she has ever been.
Blessings to each of you,
Joyce Edwards

My prayers to your family. I knew Pauline through Bible Study Fellowship. She was such a willing volunteer in the Children's Program, and she was wonderful with the children. She was such a sweet person, a joy to know, and her smile always brightened my day! She will be missed, but heaven has gained a sweet angel.

To all Pauline's children & their spouses, each grandchild, brothers & wives & other family our sincere condolences for you as you prepare for her memorial service. Have met most of you at Thanksgiving dinner at Tommy's Country Ham House with family. My father, Wilbur Stone was Annie Stone Stevenson's brother. I took pictures of all of you at the dinner & that has helped me put a face with your name. Tommy & I grew up together in Winnsboro. May the Lord give you His peace & comfort as you each share your memories.

We love you ! Landal and Susan Mitchell and Family
