Dear John, Moyra, Brad, Brian and Families. We were so very sorry to hear about Pauline. I have so many wonderful memories which I will cherish forever. I have known you folks for as long as I can remember, you are all so special to me. Pauline was such a warm, caring, special person, always with a smile, hug and a story to tell. We were all so lucky to have had her in our lives. I am so sorry that I was not able to be with you folks, but as you know with Kody it is not as easy to get out, I was thinking of you folks and am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

To those of you who could not attend the funeral on Friday, I wanted to share my eulogy online.... Pauline Rosemary Bayley was known as wife, sister, aunt, grandmother, friend, but to most of us as Mom B or mom. From the very first meeting with mom, I was welcomed with open arms and loads of love. She always had a kind word to share, advice to ponder, and memories to reflect on. She made me feel like her daughter from the very beginning and I will never forget that. I am grateful to have shared the last 17 years with her. She always commented that we should have had more time together and that Brian should have met me 10 years earlier, but that would have made me 10 years old and he would have been arrested for marrying a minor. However, with our shortened amount of time together, we took advantage of the time we had. We traveled together, visited her friends together, had a few of our own lunch and shopping trips, enjoyed the trailer together, swapped recipes and decorating ideas, watched old movies and listened to her CD's together, enjoyed Sunday night dinners together, but the one thing I cherished the most was our conversations around the kitchen table with our tea in our hands and usually a cookie or two (homemade of course), and talk about everyday things. She was the epitome of "mother". She took her job as being a mother and wife very seriously. She never gave up on any of us, and has made a huge impact in all our lives. Her most famous bit of advice was "Weigh the good with the bad. If the good out weighs the bad....hang in there and work it out." She truly believed in those words. Her other advice was to never sweat the small stuff, and quit worrying about the things you can't control. She was a wise woman. Most recently she took on a more spiritual saying of "Thank you Lord". She always said you didn't have to be in God's house to believe in Him, or remember Him. She would say "Thank you Lord" for a parking spot close to the doors at the mall, or "Thank you Lord" for giving rain to her plants so she didn't have to lug the heavy hose outside, or "Thank you Lord" that you sent Kathryn into my life. There wasn't a day that went by that she didn't tell me she loved me or made me feel like her daughter. And the feeling was completely mutual. Mom was not my mother-in-law, but the mom I needed most in my life. She will be truly missed by all of us and may she rest peacefully. She will be remembered forever in our memories and in our hearts.... And now it's my turn to say "Thank you Lord" for taking her home and watching over her. Love you mom....miss you already.

John, Our deepest sympathy in the passing of your beloved wife, Pauline. Your are in our thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with and your family John at this difficult time. God Bless

I will always remember a kind, generous, gentle woman. Her warmth was welcoming - her love genuine. A life well-lived, love well-shared, strength to the family.

It is hard to express the words about Pauline's passing. I will hold in my heart our last visit a short time ago. Not only was she a great neighbour for 15 years, she was also a great friend for 27 years. She was very kind to me and my family. Every time we talked, she always asked about my family. Pauline and I shared similar interests, especially old classic movies. We would get together every couple of months to watch an old classic and to have a great conversation. I always looked forward to those visits, with her blush wine, her great treats and always a lovely cup of tea. Pauline would always talk about her love for her family and her love of her home on Lambeth Walk. I will miss her quick sense of humour and her gentle giggles. She was like a second mom to me and I miss her already. John, you and your family have lost a wonderful, kind, generous woman. How lucky you were to enjoy her for 85 years and all those years of memories. We will treasure ours. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Today I remember the most kind and loving woman I've ever known. Her caring loving and beautiful nature was one to light up any room. My grandma had a way of always making you smile no matter what !, with her bright personality and adorable singing voice to her old fashioned radio in the kitchen, there are so many amazing memories of her that I will hold close to my heart forever . I am so grateful for the time we have had together and how your stories truly touched my life and helped me become who I want to be!! Flowers, little mice, and humming bird will always remind me of you. Grandma I will miss you more than words can ever express but I no you will be forever in my heart and watch over our family. In a rose garden of memories Ill always remember you there An angel In disguise ,who taught me how to care Ill always remember your voice And keep you in my dreams Your my forever grandma And close to my heart you will be . I love you forever~ Trisha McClelland xoxoxoxooxoxxooxx

We send our condolences to you John and your family. Pauline was a wonderful person, full of joy and kindness. We will miss her dearly.

To John and Moyra: So very sorry for your loss. Lossing a mother at any stage of life is difficult. Mothers are special people who have taught us to be the same. Hopefully we can pass some wisdom on to our own children along with the special memories of their grandmother. We are thinking of you and miss you guys this summer. Hope to see you soon in a happier time. Take Care! Patric and Dorie

Words can't express my deep sadness upon hearing of Pauline's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Of all my friends' mothers, Brian's stood apart from the rest. Pauline exuded a genuine concern and kindness - and had an exceptional ability to see the best in everything around her. I could tell her anything and know she'd offer a comforting and positive perspective. The world was a better place with Pauline in it. Yet, as sad as I am to know she's gone, I can't help but smile as I flashback through my memories of her. I'm pretty sure thoughts of Pauline will have me smiling for years.

Dear John and family, I was so sorry to hear of Pauline's passing. Time spent with her was very precious. She was always ready to share the things in her life that were special to her:her beautiful house, the birds in her backyard that gave her so much pleasure, and her loving family she was so proud of. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time.

e are so sorry to learn of the passing of a wonderful woman. Pauline was truly special and she mad our lives better for knowing her. We are praying for your entire family. May The Lord bless you all.

Dear Brian and Kathryn & family, Sorry to hear about your mom's passing. We know how much you loved her and cherished her. Keep those memories close. Thinking of you.

Aunt Pauline we will miss you dearly. We will never forget your smile and laughter. You will always have a place in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

My grandmother was the strongest and most loved human being I have ever known. Throughout the years she was in my life she doubled as not only an amazing grandmother but also a life teacher. She will be missed dearly by a lot of people .. especially me. I will miss feeding the birds bread, listening to classic music in the kitchen in the morning and watching the old movies with her. The thing I will miss most of all is our talks. I will think about her everyday for the rest of my life. I love you Grandma Rest in peace

I simply need to say that my mother will be dearly missed by me. She truly helped me become the man I am today. I owe her everything. I'm so pleased she was proud of me. It meant the world to me. She gave me strength, caring advice and unconditional love no matter what. She was one of my best friends and was truly my hero in every sense of the word. Always there for me. I will love her at least forever. Carry her with me always. And NEVER forget her! She is a part of me. I miss her already but I am learning. I will go on like she insisted. I do it for you mom. And I understand. RIP mom. Until we meet again!!! Love Brian xoxo

John, we am very sorry to hear about Pauline's passing. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Hold on to all the happy memories.
