Here are some of the many postings that people have left on the Blitz site, in memory of Pauline; Mick Dewey says: One of my first training lessons was in 1967 under Pauline Laville she and Ray Fuller would visit us each weekend at South Sea Community Centre. She made a big contribution to the early days of Portsmouth Karate Club and was a big inspiration to female Karate. Will be sadly missed. Dave O’Donnell says: God must have better places for this great lady of inspiration to look after. It is always with sadness when great people get taken away from us. SHE WILL LIVE LONG IN EVERY BODYS HEARTS RIP Ray Pulman 5th Dan says: So sorry to hear of the passing of this dear lady. I am so pleased that she knew the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal saviour for the scriptures tell us quite clearly “neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven whereby we must be saved.”
Though this is a sad loss for her family Pauline has simply gone home, to be with the Lord, which is far better eternally secure in the loving arms of Jesus, absent from the body, and present with the Lord. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved! Jamie O’Keefe says: Our thoughts are with you all. Jamie and all at New Breed Mick Billman says: A sad loss indeed. Pauline will be remembered as an inspiration to many. Sincere condolences to Lee, Elida, and all family members. Peter Spanton says: I ask that the Bindra family please accept my sincere condolences on their tragic loss. Pauline will be sadly missed and her impact on the karate world will not be forgotten. Ticky Donovan O.B.E. says: It takes so long to make good friends and it hurts that you can lose one so quickly. Love to you Lee and all your family. God Bless, Ticky.
Doug James says: This is very sad news. I have many fond memories of Pauline since the start of Blitz & only later did we find that we both started Karate at the same dojo, Middlesbrough Budokan, although myself not until 1967. An inspirational woman who made her mark in British Karate & we send sincere condolences to Lee, Elida & all the family. Cris Janson-Piers says: At this difficult time, I and all our members would like to pass on our condolences to all the family. God Bless and Rest in Peace Pauline. Cris Janson-Piers and members of BFKKO and WAKO Don Warrener says: Pauline was my friend and when a bright light goes out it simply hurts. God Bless you Pauline and God Bless the Bindra family. There is nothing I can say or do that will make this journey any easier on you but know that if there was I would do it. Your friend always. Tao Sports London says: We’re shocked and saddened to hear of your loss, and we send our deepest condolences. Om Mani Padme Hum
