I worked with Pauline for 7 years at The Al Miller Salon of Beauty on Main Street in Los Altos. It was fun and laughter all the time working with Pauline. We always were in trouble, because, we played cards in the back room of the shop, between appointments! Of course keeping our clients waiting and our boss getting upset, but then some of our clients joined us! But we got the job done, eventually! Those were fun days and yaking on the phone after viewing our TV shows, Dallas and Knott's Landing. Pauline was a loving parent to Geraldine, always worrying about her beau's and grades in school, as all parents do! I will cherish and fondly remember Pauline. She's with her beloved John as it should be, but all too soon! Farewell my friend Pauline, we'll play cards again! But then, I don't think heaven will be ready for us!! Love, Joanie
