My thoughts and sympathy are with you all. I will always remember those holiday dinners at G'mom Friday's with Aunt Pauline, my other aunts and uncles and all my cousins. I am lucky to have had her and all the Friday family in my life.

Many beautiful, loving memories of this beautiful, loving woman. Such a special person was Aunt Pauline. Treasured in my heart you'll stay, until we meet again some day. Missy

My thoughts and prayers are with Pauline's Family. I retired from the Phoenixville Senior Center as Director 3 years ago, but was very fond of Pauline and so impressed with her commitment to our exercise program while I was there. I have since moved to Tioga County and didn't know Pauline was a resident at Manatawny Manor where I have family that I visit regularly and would have made it a point to see her. Again I am sorry for your loss and know that all who knew Pauline loved her!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Mrs Harding use to be our neighbor on Coldstream Rd We will always remember, she was always the first one out to shovel snow. Rest in Peace
