To Pauline's family, especially her son Sandy, I am so sorry for your loss. Sandy, I remember when you were born, your mom was staying with us at the time, I used to baby sit for you while your mom worked. Pauline was a wonderful hard working lady, and a good friend to me as a teenager. We lost touch over the years but I remember her as a warm-hearted, caring person. I haven't seen her in years but I often thought of her. My grandmother thought the world of her and Pauline always treated her well. May God bless all of you and I will keep you in my prayers. I'm sure you have many good memories of her. Sincerely, Brenda Miller-LeVay
Thank you
Sandy and I wish to thank your for your condolences. Sandy's on his way home to California. Of course he doesn't remember you but he does remember a picture mom had with a house in the background and he thinks this may have been your house. Thank you, Helene Harris.
