My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time of loss. Pauline was one of my nursing school classmates and in those 3 years we made wonderful lifetime memories. Over the years, she faithfully came to the Puritan for a reunion lunch whenever I left California to visit family and friends in New Hampshire. Sometimes even with a short notice. I will miss my lifelong friend. Rita (Roulx) Barry

Dear Deb, Beth, and your family,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I remember her way back from the Dearborn St days. She was so kind to everyone. As we would run into each other over the years (CMC days ) she hadn't changed, still that kind-hearted caring woman who was always genuinely happy to see you. She was a great nurse. She reminded me a lot of my mom. May it comfort you to know she is reunited with your dad and Luke and they are watching over you. My deepest sympathies go out to all of you.
Godspeed Pauline.
