So many fond memories of my family and yours when we were young. Those times are unreplaceable. Hope you find peace in all the memories. She cut the cast off my leg so I could play with everyone. She was the best.🌈❤️
Thanks Terry, I wish you could’ve been there yesterday.
To the family of Pauline,
Richard & I send you our deepest condolences on the passing of your mother and grandmother!

Guy and I are so very sorry for your loss. Though we didn’t know her personally, we see the joy and love she imparted to her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. What a wonderful, long life she enjoyed !
Our hearts are saddened and our love and prayers are with each of you. Aunt Pauline was always one of my favorites and I always thought she was so beautiful and loved her very much. Blessings, Buddy and Rosie Broadfoot
Thank you Rosie! We are saddened by the sudden loss of Tina’s husband this week. I know she is devastated!
We are thinking of your family at this time. We are so sorry for your loss. She was our sweet neighbor. Sending prayers.
So sorry for your loss. We bought the house you grew up in from your mom and dad in 1991. We love this place so much. Your mom was such a sweetheart. She came to see the house not long after we bought it and loved what we had done with the place.
We are so sad to hear the news! Our family has the A frame house near her house and even though we didn’t know her well your family was a joy to have as neighbors! May God hold you all in the palm of His hand.
