Vernon and family,
Please accept our sincere condolences. Paulette was a kind, precious person who made positive influences in the lives of those she touched. She will be missed. Take comfort in John 14 which promises us that Heaven is a very real place and that the Holy Spirit provides comfort to those left here on earth when our loved leave us, and we can have peace in these promises.
