Children, grandchildren and relatives, I have many fond memories of working with Pauline at Cranston Community Action for many years in the 70's and 80's. She attended a wedding shower for me, my wedding and my daughter's first birthday party. Celine is 38. You of you daughters was Big Bird for my daughter's third birthday party. She will be sorely missed.

Jackie and family,

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. It is always sad to loose a loved one. Please know you are in my thoughts.

I just returned home this evening and saw the notice of the passing of Pauline. Deepest sympathies to the family, and,if I may be so bold,to all of us who knew this wonderful woman. I could trust her with the finances of my office,fully knowing that she was the BEST! It may sound trite to say, but she was the most caring person for her family and for the people of the State of RI. She is a model of public service. I mourn the passing of such a dedicated friend.
They just don't make people like her anymore! Deepest sympathies to the family and to all who knew her! Former Attorney General, Arlene Violet

Dear Dugas Family - Thanks to Jerusalem, we are forever linked. I have so many wonderful memories of your mom and all of us at the beach, taking swimming lessons off the State Pier, swimming to your dock, going quahogging from there and sailing with Jackie, making butter and sugar sandwiches at your house, hanging out at the rotary at night, etc. And all the while your mom was a lovely, quiet presence - graceful, friendly, supportive, funny and calm - just a wonderful lady whose personality and character are reflected in all of you. Ill always picture her sitting on the porch and hearing that my mother took a walk down. Love and hugs, Susan

This is the twilight time, Teddy, which you have captured in your amazing photo. Know that your Mom is close to God and He is close to you and your sisters. Try to remember those happy times you all shared together especially the night you all stopped in at my house on the occasion of my 90th. We enjoyed many laughs, memories and cake and ice cream which made it all so wonderful for me and Susan. Love and prayers, Mrs. D.

While visiting family in Las Vegas I received the sad news of Pauline's passing. I was her supervisor at the DEA fiscal division for most of the time that she was there. There were 7 of us in the Division (5 now gone) so we became like a family sharing many stories of ourselves and our families. Pauline was a "treasure" to work with and all around fantastic person....many happy memories of those days. Please accept my sincere condolences .

I am so sorry for your loss. My Dad was also at Philip Hulitar, and passed away the same day. Perhaps we said hello to each other in the hall, or in the beautiful sunroom. May you find peace in knowing that you gave your loved one the greatest gift of peace in her final days. Thinking of you, Barbara DeFreitas, daughter of William M. Tripp.
