I am so very sorry to hear of Pauline's death. My prayers go out to all of the family. She was such a very special person. I was the receptionist at Park Pointe Village for about 6 years and before that I worked in the dining room. I had the great pleasure of serving her in the dining room and she was a great help to me as a volunteer at the front desk. She was a great person and will be missed. May God bless all of her family and loved ones. Mary Jo

Pauline was always full of the love of the Lord. She showed us this by the many hugs, words of encouragement, and love she gave us, unconditionally. Our hearts break because we can't have her with us on this earth anymore but we look expectantly to see her again in heaven. We are thankful to have been blessed by her. We love you so much Pauline!

We will always remember your sweet spirit and will miss you so much. But at least we know that we will be together in heaven some day. Until then, we love you dearly Aunt Paulene.
Love,
Your niece, Donna
