If tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane, we'd walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again. A heart of gold stopped beating A shining smile at rest God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best. Our family chain is broken again and nothing seems the same, But God will call us one by one and the chain will link again.
Sandra Claunch - Niece
Goldine was a woman of God. All of my life i admired her though I did not have an opportunity to spend much time with here except on visits to her home in Arkansas. She lived for God all of her life, a preacher of the Gospel for 81 years, a faithful wife, mother and grandmother. Heaven is sweeter for her passing. The family circle grows ever larger on the other side giving all of us who are still in this life a greater reason to make heaven our home. I will miss Goldine, but I am glad where she is no suffering, sorrow or tears. She and Leland and the rest of the family are together with Jesus forever and forever! Gaylan Claunch

Grandma will be missed. She was always a positive infulance and uplifting person to be around when I was younger. I could ask her questions about the Lord and Pastoring a Church and she was always ready to take the time to try and help. I will see her soon in a much better place.
