Dava and family-
My thoughts and prayers are with you upon the loss of your mother. I enjoyed getting to know you and your mother while she was in our care here at Senior Care. We will miss her spirited personality. I am sure you have many wonderful memories. God bless you.

Dava, Louis and family, I was saddened to hear of the home going of your mother,aunt,and grandmother, Pauline. But, on the other hand, I rejoice because she has lived a full and blessed life. All of you have been blessed by her life. Her presence will always be near. Pauline has always treated me as if I were her own daughter and given me much advice to help me to develop into the person I am today. Now, it is her shining moment to have a home going service to be with the Lord. God is too great and too wise to make a mistake. He only accepts the best people into heaven to be on his team. I think of Pauline as one of the best. I have so many good memories of her living on Beechwood /Cedar Ave in Farrell and living in Iowa. Remember Dava, she always said I should have been her daughter and you should have been my mother’s child. I wonder why (lol). One day Dava, while we are on schedule, we’ll make time to reflect and laugh about all the good times we had. I offer you and all of the family members Psalm 23rd to comfort, guide and strengthened you during this difficult time. Psalm 23rd verses are as follows:
1. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want
2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters
3. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the LORD for ever.
Your friend and sis,
~Dr. Diana Jones
