Steve and Family,
I know the feelings of the loss of Ms Pauline have no words that can describe them. And nothing that I can say will change the affects of the sadness that comes with this loss. But we do have that knowledge that one day we will all be together again and that will be a great home coming. Mother will miss her in a way that I can't imagine, she was a good friend to Mother, they gave each other great comfort and your Mom was a really special person to Mother. Your Mom and I became good friends when I was older and was working in Doyline and that's when I really got to know her, she was really specially. God Bless you all and how blessed you were to have her in your life for so long and as your mother.

During my years working at DHS, I always looked forward to homecoming. I knew that Mrs. Causey would be there or just watching her work in her yard.
May you find comfort in knowing that she is with God.

Joyce, you have my sincerest sympathy on the death of your mother. I know it's hard to let her go, but you can be assured that you did everything you could to make her life as comfortable as possible. And, Guy, you were a very helpful and considerate son-in-law. I never met Mrs. Causey, but I know she was a strong Christian woman. May she rest in peace. God bless you both.
