Mark, Neicy and family, 

My sincerest condolences.  It was such a pleasure to meet your Mother during our visit around Thanksgiving. I truly enjoyed our  engaging conversation and her company, albeit short and sweet.  God bless her soul and may she rest in peace. I know it is a comfort that you got to spend her final years with her. Cherish the memories! 

Your cousin, Robin Garvin

My heart is heavy with the passing of my Aunt Jean.  I can say that it was so wonderful to be in her presence. She was always full of compliments and had a great sense of humor (I’m smiling now as I write these words).  She is now under the care of our  Heavenly Father yet her spirit will continue to reside within us.

Praying for the family.  We loved her like a mom she was always there for us.  Her and mommy are together now eating and enjoying the Love of God.  I’m so thankful to have known her I remember when my first son was born I took him to see her she was so happy.  She said  Dee Dee that’s just what I needed babies make your heart Happy 😊  She will always be in my Heart.   Hang in there Family 🙏🏼💐

Larry,

You will always have those beautiful memories to lean on!

I recently talked to my cousin on the phone. We shared some memories.  My fondest memory is when I spent two weeks with her and the family prior to attending Wilberforce University.  Much love family and God's grace and mercy as you deal with the loss of a love one.

🌹💙🙏🏾 God has his Angels around him.
I'm so heartbroken to hear about the family's loss of a great Mom.  So many memories hit me at once and hurts so much it's like losing a mom all over again. As a young kid, my brothers and sisters was always there when she called or needed us to do something for her and we was so happy to be there for her. From cutting grass to making runs to the store. She is a loving woman that cares for others. Rest in Heaven and you will always be in our hearts and memories. 🌹🙏🏾

Mom Paul was beautiful inside and out. She had a kind spirit and always gave excellent advice, we shared good times together from watching our favorite soap operas to eating Graham crackers and cream cheese.  Having laughs at Thanksgiving dinner. I'll always cherish the memories we have shared. She'll be truly, truly, missed.  She now has her wings and a angel.  To the Paul Family I ask the Lord to comfort you in these hard times and give you strength.

Sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences to you and your family 🙏🏾

My heartfelt condolences and prayers of comfort to Mark  and family. Mrs Paul was on my mind last week, now I know why❤️

Mark and family I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom, she always made us feel like a part of the family. Sending hugs and prayers RIP Mrs. Paul you will be missed🙏🙏

Mrs Paul, was the most sweetest and soft spoken, and she always greeted you with a smile and had a hug ready, 
She was such a Beautiful Woman, that we will always remember and  hold  in our Hearts, 
Mark, may GOD keep you all in his Peace and give you all the Comfort of your Hearts.

Dale and I send our Love 💗 and Prayers for you and the rest of the Family,

Rest in Heaven grandma Paul until we meet again.  Thank you for accepting me into the Paul family and treating me as if I was your own. When I married Nasir I gained a grandmother.  A grandmother I never got to experience having. You will be missed greatly. Condolences to my Paul family.

Paul Family, 

We're so sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother. When we met her, she was so full of grace, happiness and cheer. She will be dearly missed. Please let us know if we can do anything in your time if need. 

The Rudolph family

Miss Jean was one of my mother’s best friends and Michael, Larry, Woody, and Mark were more like brothers to me than just friends. We’ve grown apart through careers and distance but the love is still there. Miss Jean was the sweetest person and man that chocolate cake was out of this world. She and Mr Thaddeus taught us how to play bid whist! My heart sank when I heard and my prayers are with you all.

My condolences to Mark and the family. Mrs Paul was like a second mom to me and she treated me so well growing up as young man as one of Mark’s  best friends. I was almost in their home as much as my own. Rest in peace

Even though we never met, I can imagine the gracefulness and love she had for those around her. I know her character proceeded her  as that special and caring person.  

Mark, what I see was her raising a beautiful family as yours.  Being a parent in a family as inspiring as yours is rare today. I have so much respect for you and Denise. I know that parenting skills came from your  parents leading by example.  A mother’s lifestyle speaks volumes. I know you have many memories. Cherish those in your heart my friends. 

Lastly, Mark & Denise, God is very much pleased with the love and respect you showed to your mother by bringing her home. This is pure love you all displayed. 

God knew this day would come before she was born. He place her with her caring family. A family that showed unconditional love until the end. Because of that, you will be blessed beyond measure. The good thing is you will see her again when you get to heaven.  We love you guys. 

Much love 
Elder Herb (Pitbull) Pittman.
