A wonderful woman who truly lived the Gospel: 'Come, my Father has blessed you! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you took me into your home. 36I needed clothes, and you gave me something to wear. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me.

Aunt Pauline was a wonderful, loving aunt who treated all of her nieces and nephews as her own children. From the trips to Peppermint Park, Galveston and swimming and parties at her and Uncle Elmer's home, we always looked forward to those wonderful times! Aunt Pauline will live forever in my heart and prayers. God is holding a special angel in His arms today.I can imagine the celebration going on in heaven! I am so thankful to have had this wonderful woman in my life! My prayers for Uncle Elmer and the rest of the family.
