To the Clawson Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Pauline's passing. She was a terrific person and was a great friend and helper to my mother Margaret in the care of my late sister Mary. I can't say enough good things about her sense of duty and dedication. My best wishes to the family.

Sandy and family, I am sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. She recently gave some family photos to my sister Trish - I can't believe how much my great grandfather looks like Uncle Jack Welsh! I know you will have many wonderful memories to help you through this difficult time. Please know my thoughts are with you.

Sandy and Family,
Sorry to hear about your mom passing. Always got the biggest kick out of her. She always made me welcome in her home and every time I bumped into her at the corner store (her lottery headquarters), she never forgot to ask about my kids, family, etc.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

MaryAnne, Sandy, Nancy, Adam and family,

Our families have known each other for over 50 years! We have had many laughs and good times, and wonderful memories to last a lifetime. Our families have also endured our share of heartbreaking events that have strengthened the bond of our friendship even further. Pauline was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. I will always treasure the memories of our quests to hit it BIG by traveling from store to store scratching lottery tickets ( despite the fact that we usually never won anything), and our weekly whist games with Sally and Ellie in our healthier days. Polly was definitely an extraordinary woman who never gave up, always kept her faith, and remained positive no matter what curve balls life threw her way. I will miss you my friend and will never forget you. Rest in peace my friend.

Dear Al (Sandy) and family,

Please accept my heartfelt condolences in the passing of your Mother.
I held her in high regard. She was a remarkable woman. I have always found her to be an inspiration simply by her actions. Her perserverence in the most difficult times is a testament to her substance.

I have not seen her in a few years, and I have held her in my heart and will continue to do so.

My prayers and thoughts are with each and every one of you,
Sheila
