I remember Pauline most fondly from my childhood. I lived down the street from Tom and his family and knew them all well. She was a very dear person.

What a wonderful person to have graced our lives! She will be sadly missed. She was the mother of one of my best childhood friends and our faithful Den Mother in Cub Scouts...she made quite a positive impression on all of us..!
