Dear Richard and Family,
We are all so sorry for the loss of your wife and mother. Though we did not really get to know Pauline very well because of the advancement of her MS, after reading all of the entries here she truly seemed like a very loving woman and I thank you for the honor to get to know her a little while she was here at Epsom HealthCare Center. We are all thinking of you at this time. Please know that we are always here for you...Stay strong and lean on the Lord!
Most sincerely,

I agree with the other sentiments posted that Pauline was certainly a courageous woman, and such a gentle soul too.

So many fond memories of playing cards and laughing hysterically when we were all so young. Pauline could make us laugh over nothing and it'd then be difficult to stop.

It was obvious that Pauline was so very proud of her daughter's... and Dick her best friend and soul-mate, always by her side.

Our deepest sympathies and love to each of you during this difficult time. May her memories be forever cherished in your hearts.

Valarie;
I was very sorry to hear about your mom,
and I send my love and prayers to you and your family.
At a time like this it is very difficult to find the right words. We
know that your mom fought a long, hard
battle against MS with dignity
and a tremendous amount of love and
help from you, your sister, your father, and the rest of the family.
You should all be proud of her and
know that she is in a better place.
