shona Souka An Earth Angel “Pauline” truly was. She touched our hearts with her positive, cheerful & Oh so funny spirit.
For those who were blessed enough to even know Pauline for
5 minutes or many years, what a GIFT we were each given.
Her humor, and energy to life she always shared so freely, I will deeply miss my friend.

Jeannie Nielsen I will miss Pauline very much. She was an incredible spirit, always smiling and happy natured. She brightened any room when she walked in. She had a way of encouraging a person, and making them feel better about things. Pauline was highly respected, and will be sorely missed by all her co-workers.
Our Dearest Pauline; There are no words from the heart that can be spoken which will express how deeply you have touched us all with your happy smile, laughter and kind heart. Even as you courageously battled such a horrible disease, you still had such compassion during our phone calls to ask how we are doing in our own lives. The disease may have taken you from us here on earth, but it will never be able to take away from the fondest of memories which each and every one of us has of you and the impact you made for those lives you touched during your time with us all. Rest in peace our friend… until we meet again! Gregg & Ingrid.
