i work at saxton woods, very sorry for your loss. we all will miss her .she was a very nice ,sweet lady! we all in housekeeping will miss this wonderful woman. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
I will also be grateful for Jesse. She be-friended my grandmother and took her under her wing when Cecil came to stay at Saxtonwoods about 6 and half years ago. Her grace took a large worry off our minds and released the Stress of transitioning for Cecil. Leaving her home was vary hard for Cecil. Jesse didn’t let any grass grow under Cecil, she involved her right off the bat. Cecil flurished becaused of Jesse’s friendship It has been 2 and a half years sense Cecil has past and I’m sure she met Jesse at Heavens gate with a deck of cards and a Mocha-Molate’ ready for another round of Pitch. Thank you Jesse for all the Kindness that you show my Grandma Cecil. YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!!
Pauline was a great friend/neightor to our mother in Stanberry, Ethel Groce. They spent hours talking and laughing while on earth so we imagine they are in a huddle with Racheal having a good visit now in heaven. God bless you Edson and Merna and your families. Our thoughts are with you.

Psalms 46:1-God is for us a refuse and strength, A help that is readily to be found during distresses. May your family be comforted from God’s inspired Word as you endure this most difficult time.
My deepest sympathies for your loss. I worked with Pauline at C. D. Smith Drug Company for years. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
