I am so sorry to hear that Aunt Pauline has passed. She was a big part of my childhood that I will always remember. Helping her plant pansies in the garden is one of my favorite memories, and of course helping her prepare lunch for Uncle Dale... Vegetable Soup and "goop" sandwiches. I remember her doctoring the nettle stings I got when we picked blackberries together, and of course I will always remember her laugh.

We were out of town for a couple of weeks and just heard about her passing when we returned. I'm so sorry we were not in town for the memorial service. Karen and Diane, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

Karen and Diane, I was so sorry to hear about Aunt Pauline. My thoughts and prayers are with you now and during the coming weeks. Pauline always had a good story to share and I can remember laughing at whatever she had to share. Love to you both, Pam.
