The world lost a little light when Pauline left, but the stars are shining brighter than ever before. Through my friendship with her daughter, Jeri, I came to know Pauline and Jerry. They always treated me like a part of their loving family. My heart is with the family during this most difficult time.

Some of my best Wisconsin memories involve enjoying aunt Pauline's famous homemade cookies. I also loved that when she came to California she always wanted to go to Disneyland. Simply the best, we will miss her so.

I am so sorry to hear of Pauline's passing. I just saw her obituary. She was my mother's favorite cousin. I would always see her at garage sales. Hugs & prayers Wendy Starr Cole
