To the family and friends of Pauline Allison, from Pauline’s Carmelite spiritual family: We are deeply grieved over the loss of our Carmelite sister, Pauline, who lived a beautiful life exemplifying the Gospel of Jesus Christ and reflecting the tenets of our Order. It is never easy to say “goodbye” to a loved one; however, in the end, great comfort accompanies the knowledge that Pauline is resting in Christ’s arms as she enjoys her Heavenly reward. Please be aware that our prayers are extended to Pauline’s family and friends since her memory and your peace will remain in our hearts. Masses are being offered at each of the members’ individual parishes for the repose of her soul. Sincerely, the members of the Secular Discalced Carmelite Community of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint Teresa of Jesus, in Essex, Maryland.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. May the God of comfort strengthen you all during this difficult time. Soon our heavenly father promises to rid the earth of suffering, pain, and death (Revelation 21:4). He also promises to bring our loved ones back to life (John 5:28,29)! This will be a wonderful time for so many.

Pauline was one of the most wonderful people I have ever known. I met her through the Women’s Retreat Conference. We attended many retreats together and I remember how she took care of first Elizabeth and then Mary. She was a saint.
