Pauline, we had good times in HS. We were friends, and you will be missed by everyone whos life you touched. You will be missed. AnnMichele Delp (1981)
I remember Pauline as being one of my closest friends in HS...it all started when I started school at St. Johns...I remember her being one of the first people to welcome me to my new school. During those years, we've really had some great times together! Over the last too many years to count, I did get to catch up with her a time or two on the phone. I had been really great hearing her!! I have so many wonderful memories of our friendship!Now many of us are saddened...but we need to realize that she is in a much better place. A place where the sun is always shining on her, and place where she never has to fear again.
Luv ya Sis!!
