I worked with Pauline at the March of Dimes. She was a joy to be around and a blessing to know. We lost touch over the years but thankfully reconnected about 5 or 6 years ago. I enjoyed our visits, Facebook messages, phone calls and emails. I am so very thankful that our lives again reconnected and I got to continue our friendship. Rest in Peace!
