I grew up with Pauline. She was such a good and gentle soul. Whenever our paths crossed through the years she always had a smile on her face. I have such fond childhood memories of her.

I am so sorry for your loss. Pauline and I first met when she rented an apartment from me in the 70's. She was a wonderful person who always had a smile.
