Pauline was a wonderful lady. I have many fond memories of her and Don when they lived next to Mom & Dad in Polo. Pauline had a wonderful sense of humor and a very contagous laugh. She will be missed terribly. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

To our four wonderful nephews. We can't express in words how important your mother was in our lives. Pauline was my sister-in-law, but always my one and only sister. I was only 14 yrs. old when my loving brother, Don, brought Pauline home to meet our parents and me. We were so happy to welcome her into our family. We've shared so many personal and wonderful things through the years. I also feel I gained 4 "sons" during all those years. You 4 boys as I still call you, have been so close and special to Ed and I and to your cousin, Lisa. What a ride we all have had!! I want you all to know how your mother has been a "role model" for all of us. Her courage and inspiration to us during her long battle with cancer goes beyond words. She will live on with our entire family, and we will miss her more than can be expressed. Please know how much we love all of you, and will always be here for you. We are very proud of all of you as your mom was!! With all our love and deepest feelings. Love, Aunt Syl and Uncle Ed.

To my dearest Aunt,
You are very much loved and missed by all! You were such an inspiration to many and I will never forget your bubbling and bright personality. You lit up any room you entered. I am so happy that you have entered eternal peace with our Father in heaven! I will always keep you close to my heart and remember forever the special times we spent together. Thank you for being such a special part of my life!
To my cousins,
May this loss of your Mother bring you a sense of peace that she is no longer in pain, but living the life she was meant to live with God, the father. Although her life here on earth is over, may you remember and keep close the memories you shared with her. May God bless you and strengthen you during this difficult time. I love you all very much!

Pauline was a dear friend and neighbor for many years of Barb & Jack Gilmour and their kids when Pauline lived in Polo, IL. We have memories of many fun get togethers with lots of laughs! Pauline was there for our family through good times and bad. She helped our mom through several medical problems and was always checking in on her. We will remember Pauline for her wonderful sense of humor, her love of life, her laughter, and for being a caring, loving friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
