I was very sorry to hear of Pauline’s passing. She was such a sweet lady, and had the prettiest smile ever. Her face would light up a room. When she would get tickled, it showed all over her face! My thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this time, and I hope that you will keep your fond memories tucked safely in your hearts.
