We are so grateful to all the wonderful memories of our Aunt Pauline while growing up, from pool swimming to holiday's & beach trips. My fondest memory is when we took a simple Sunday drive up to Coaticook Canada to have lunch just for fun. And I must mention her sweet voice singing at our Wedding 30 years ago. Now she can sing in Heaven with Uncle Ronnie & play "Scat" with my dad Jim, Aunt Theresa, Memere & Pepere. Love You, Lisa.
