My deepest condolences to Stewart and your family for your loss.
Pauline & Stewart were my neighbours when we lived up on the Ridge.
It was great to have such lovely, friendly people living next door. Pauline was such a talented person. Loved her quilting and their dog.

My deepest sympathies to Pauline´s family in this difficult time. Pauline was very kind and helpful to me when I was starting out as a teacher at McKenzie Elementary School. She was a much loved, highly creative teacher who always put her students first. I was fortunate to have had her as a colleague.

I was so sorry to hear about Paulines passing. We played bridge together for over thirty years. She was a lovely woman and she made the most beautiful quilts.
