I did not know Pauline well, but from everything Galla told me over the years, she loved her family.

Pauline was a good mother. I know because I've met her children Patty and Dave and they are lovely people. And she was a caring grandmother to her granddaughter Amelia, also a lovely person. And her daughter in law Galla thought a lot of her.
I think Pauline had a good time while she was here on earth, and I hope she is dancing to Glen Miller in heaven right now.
It was good to know you, Pauline.
With love from Gae and Lars

Pauline was a wonderful person. She had a lot of joy in her heart that she shared with everyone. She welcomed me into her family instantly and I couldn't have asked for a nicer mother-in-law. As a grandmother, there isn't one better. She loved Amelia with all her heart. I know she will always watch over us. I will miss her weekly check-ins and fabulous laugh. Rest in peace Grandma Pauline.

A great heartfelt Thank You to all that have shared their thoughts and feelings for Pauline, whether here, or in their own way.

It was wonderful seeing my mother's friends and family over the past several days. Your thoughts, prayers and presence were instrumental in making a sorrowful day a brighter one. Patty and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Most importantly, Pauline is smiling.

Pauline was a lovely lady. I always enjoyed visiting with her. I remember well years ago when her hudband would walk by every evening smoking his pipe. Now they are strolling in heaven together. Peace be with you Pauline.

Aunt Paul has been a part of my life forever, and I will miss her terribly. She was like a second mom to me. I know that she is in heaven with my mom and dad, and uncle Ted, laughing it up like they used to. All my love to Patty and David.

Pauline has been a wonderful neighbor since we moved into the neighborhood 30 years ago. She was always interested and caring toward my family. We will miss her friendship very much. Lent Family

She was the best neighbor anyone could ever ask for -- a dear friend and guardian angel to our family. We will miss her every day & feel so blessed to have known her. She brought joyfulness and a sense of fun wherever she went. She was always full of love and gratitude. She was an amazing role model. She was the ultimate girlfriend! Like a dry martini or a Sinatra song, she was a classic in every way. Rest in peace, sweet lady and give our best to Ted & the awesome Joan! Love, Ann, Chuck, Katie & Joey Hoover

Auntie Paul, I know Uncle Ted is saying, "Hey Paulie Baby, what took yo so long," and I'm sure by now you and Mom are smoking up a storm. Love and Miss You,

Pauline and her husband Ted and daughter Patty always welcomed me with kindness and generosity from the day I met them. She was fun and vivacious and adored her chocolates.
What a lovely, lovely soul. I will miss her very much.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Pauline was a sweet,caring wonderful lady. She would always come to me to buy her groceries at Vons. She will be missed dearly. She always had a smile on her face. Jane Stoffers
