We are very sorry for your loss. I always loved hearing the stories about Pauline--she was quite a dynamo and an inspiration the way she lived her life with such gusto. I know that the Heavens are a bit livelier these days. Her beautiful spirit lives on in you and your children, and your children’s children. She will always be remembered. I look forward to the day when I will relay "Pauline" stories to Bryje. Please know that our hearts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

I remember Pauline when she acted on stage as one of the"Jolly Janes"

Heaven is celebrating because once again they can see that cast of ladies perform.

We will remember her smile and her sense of humor. She always was a very gracious lady.
