An unedited message from Pauline's 7 year old great grand daughter:
Dear Grat Grandma
     I very sorry.  Have a grat time in heaven whith your husband brother and whith other familys and friends. 
Love Kelly Reese

Mom,
  As said by Carl Sagan, "To live in the hearts we leave behind is to never die."  As so eloquently stated, Mom, you will live on forever through my heart, your grandchildrens hearts, and the hearts of your great grandchildren who had the pleasure to sit in your lap, hug and kiss you, and dance with you.

Pauline,

It has been a pleasure knowing you!  I enjoyed our many visits while you were living with Nancy and later when you came to visit.  Our luncheons together were always a joy, however, I was always afraid that you might misplace or lose your purse while on my watch.

Missing you my sweet Mommy.
Everyday around 5 pm, I want to call you.

Your loving daughter Nancy

Pauline,
I have always loved you, you were the counterpart to my great grandmother Clara.  You never met a person that you could resist feeding.  Your love of cats and gardening were well known.  Grandpa was always saying "you should see Pauline's garden she sure has a green thumb".  Say hi to my Mom, have fun reminiscing!

Your mom was such a sweet lady.  I always enjoyed seeing her when visiting you, Nancy.  You two had a very special relationship.  Mothers are so precious.

Pauline, I miss seeing you and Nancy at Serrano for your birthday!  You brought back my MoM for me every time we partied!  Miss you!  Love you!  Please find my MoM and say hello to her for me!

Aunt Pauline,  You were the sweetest, most gentile lady.  We adored you and will miss you.  May you rest in peace.  Love, Nancy Jo

Mom,

I have a life time of great memories with you and Daddy.
The three of us were together always, living together, traveling together, sharing all birthdays and holidays.
You were my best friend and we went everywhere together.
All of our friends have commented on the loving bond we had.  You loved all my cats as much as I did and they loved you and sleeping on your lap.
We had a beautiful life together and I will cherish and celebrate your memory.  I love you with all my heart and will miss you dearly.  Until we meet again, rest in peace.

Your loving daughter Nancy

Aunt Pauline,  you were always such a joy.  A tiny ray of sunshine.  I still remember my mom and brother reminiscing about your trip to Hawaii together and sharing how much fun they had with you.  Love you so much and so glad that you are at peace in heaven with Uncle Leslie.

Mother...the last five years were heaven! We had so much fun going out to lunch, enjoying movies and going to concerts. I will miss you greatlyI Give Daddy a kiss in Heaven for me! I love you now and forever!

Grandma,
You are the greatest. You were always good for a laugh or a nice visit at home. You may have passed, but you will live forever to me.

I love you, Grandma. You were so caring and sweet and silly!  We were so blessed that you could travel for a visit.  My girls came to know and love you very quickly.  You are forever in our hearts and minds.

Mommy,
    You were my best friend and the greatest gift from God I could have ever imagined.  Although you passed into Heaven from my arms, you will forever remain in my heart.
                                    Your Loving Daughter, Marsha
