Pauline I will never forget your truly beautiful spirit. I remember when you came with Renee for the day to my house for a BBQ after Gianna was born. Your laughter was contagious and I loved your zest for life. I know you are at peace now even though no one was ready to say goodbye. Thank you for giving the world your beautiful daughter Renee. I was so excited when you two took your trip of a lifetime only 5 months ago. Seeing the love between the two of you was so inspiring. I loved looking at all the pictures you two were posting and I knew how much it meant to both of you. I will never forget you beautiful lady. I will not say goodbye, but instead I will say until we meet again. In the meantime we will all cherish your memory and keep an eye on Renee for you :purple_heart:

I did not have the pleasure of knowing your loved one personally. I saw this obituary in the paper. Your touching story of Pauline’s life compelled me to send my condolences for your loss. I hope the family might be comforted by this promise from the bible: “and he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will no more, neither will mourning nor outcry looknor pain be any more the former things have passed away”. (Rev.21:4,5) Please accept this warm expression of sympathy regarding the death of your loved one.

Jimmy, your love for Walli needs no words – it is something that cannot be described, but felt. You always lit up when you talked about her, and I enjoyed listening to you talk about her. Your love was like no other; one could always tell.
Please know that I am thinking of you, praying for you, and will gladly listen to more stories of your “Darlin’ Walli”; the way you talk about her makes me feel like I knew her in person.
Her spirit lives on and will always be with you.

Tears as I read Ms. Steele’s obituary in the paper this morning. Ms. Steele was my music teacher at West-Ridge School in the late 70’s. I have vivid and fond memories of her. I even remember some of the songs she taught us. She unknowingly inspired me to become a music teacher. Music with Ms. Steele was the best part of the school day! She was a dedicated, passionate and hard working teacher. Renee, I went to middle school with you. I don’t know if you remember me, but you are in my thoughts and prayers. Amy Barootian

Mom, I miss you. I have so many things to share with you but I can’t…your gone. Thank you to all of you who came to see her. So many people asked me why no funeral. Pauline did not want one. She wants people to remember her thr way she was. I miss you Mommy. Love Renee

Our condolences on Pauline’s passing. We did not personally know Pauline but are friends of David and Cindy. My parents each had a full life and each of their deaths was not unexpected. However, it was still difficult when we lost each of them. To lose Pauline when she was so young has to be extremely difficult. May you take comfort in remembering her good days and in all the good memories you all had in the past. Jim & Linda Jegerlehner, Dubuque, IA.
