One of the nicest,sweetest ladies I ever met...She was such a good neighbor to my husband,Chris and I when we moved across the street from her back in 2012.She loved to talk,and she also loved to chat with my granddaughters,as they would be at our home after school and in the summer months.She always bought Girl Scout Cookies from them.We loved celebrating her birthday with her every June 21st.We sure were sad to see her move to Columbus,but it was time to be closer to her daughter,Sharon and family..
Pauline,thank you for your friendship. I hope now that you are in Heaven,not only with your family members and friends,but hopefully you and Chris have been reunited as well.He so loved your telephone chats.You will be missed here,but never forgotten...Love, Marina..
