Jacqueline, I was truly blessed to get to minister in some small way to Mary Paul as one of my deacon widows. She was a wonderful lady to get to know. Our prayers are with you and we rejoice in the knowledge that she is in Heaven with her King Jesus.

Mary Paul was such a wonderful example of a godly Christian lady who in her loving and quiet way taught many ladies Christian truths and values through her years of teaching. I am sure she heard, “Well done good and faithful servant†when she entered the gates of heaven.
You are in our prayers as you go through this separation time.

Jacqueline, my heart aches for the great loss you and Danniwayne are experiencing in the loss of your precious mom. She was certainly exemplary in her love, devotion and service to her Lord. David and I are praying for you and just trying to imagine the sheer delight and elation she must be experiencing in the physical presence of the Lord God Almighty, The Redeemer and Holy Spirit. I love you!
