Many people go through life making a huge mark on the world but this lady, Grammie Pauline, made a difference with her loving smile and accepting heart. I saw her recently at Shaw's in Hillsborough and she knew me instantly even though I had only seen her maybe 3 times in 25 to 30 years. This world has lost a special one. Heartfelt condolences to her family
