Sherry and Susan,
I am so sorry to hear about Pauline passing away. She was such a blessing to us all!! She was like a grandmother to Kelly and Matt and like a mom to me at our years at Deep Creek Country Day School. God Bless you both! I am so grateful that she was in our lives.

Love to you all ---
