Lit a candle in memory of Mary Burkett Bauer
Paul We are so sorry about your loss. Your Mom was so special to all of us. When she spoke to me about my health issues, the smile and love in her eyes and words were as they came directly from The Lord. She so showed the Love of Jesus towards me and her kind words and prayers will never be forgotten! We have both been blessed with wonderful Moms and Dads and such a great Neighborhood to grow up in. My Mom often spoke of your Mom and how lovely and kind she always was towards here. We will all deeply miss your Mom. We regret we are out of the State, but our prayers and Thoughts are with you, Fred, Lois and Evelyn Adams
Paul and Leslie, Rod and I wanted you to know how sad we were to hear about the passing of your mother. I am so thankful that I was able to see her when I was at home for Christmas. She had come to get her hair cut at mom’s and as always she was smiling and joyful. I am blessed to have known her throughout my life. You and Leslie are in our thoughts and prayers. Rodney & Kimberly Rooks Edwards
Paul & Leslie- Thoughts and prayer to all of you during this time of grief. May you find peace in the many memories of your mom and take comfort in knowing that you were always available for her! We are praying for you! Dean & Betty

Paul, Some of my first memories of you and your family is seeing your mother holding you as a newborn. You had such great parents. They contributed so much to North Carolina Wesleyan College, and they will never be forgotten. –Bruce Sharer
One of the clearest teachings of Gods word is that dead loved ones will come back to life. Bible accounts of past resurrections guarantee that all those in the grave will hear Jesuss voice & come out. (John 528, 29) People at that time will be overjoyed when they are reunited with their loved ones, who have been resurrected. And we cannot even imagine the happiness that the resurrected ones will feel. What a wonderful hope we have been given.
My sincere condolences to the Bauer family for your loss. During this time of sorrow, may you meditate on the promisesfound in God`s word the Bible that provide comfort-2 Cor. 13,4! Jehovah God promises that he will swallow up death and wipe away all tears from all faces-Isa. 258! How wonderful it would be not to hear about anyone dying! Jesus promised that we could be reunited with our dead loved ones by means of a resurrection hope-John 528, 29! How wonderful it would be to see our dead loved ones again!
