We served Meals-On-Wheels to Pauline on Mondays.  She had such a sweet and appreciative spirit towards our services and was a real joy to serve in this simple way.  She has often said in this last year how she longed to go on to Heaven where her beloved was — although we have lost a delightful client, she has “graduated” to her sought goal and now resides with Jesus and her loved ones.  We will truly miss her!  About three weeks ago she shared with us a true miracle regarding a return to perfect vision in her right eye — this was indeed a spectacular event and we were able to rejoice with her.  Pat & Doug Mims
