Mom was the only girl of 7 children This poses some challenges when raising a daughter She taught me how to play softball, ride a skateboard and take care of a house but cooking. sewing and canning I learned from aunt’s Bonnie and Carolyn and grandma's.  She taught me how to behave and take care of people and how to drive a stick shift. always intentionally making me angry because she said I shifted better mad. Growing up I spent many years taking care of my mom after surgeries and while she was away on the truck but once I moved out and had my own family she was really there for me while I was working and took care of my four kids even though she refused to listen to how I wanted them raised and that James should not have eggs so of course she fed him eggs daily she spoiled my kids so much and then when the great grandkids came especially Jordan she she really was there. When the kids called from school regardless of what was wrong or if nothing was wrong she would always pick them up and take them to McDonald's or whatever and just give them a one on one day and they knew it they knew she would just come and rescue them even if I said no one day Angel actually convinced her then I said it was OK for her to let her live with her and she moved her out while I was at work and never told me She always had a way of being nice but letting you know she was in charge one of her favorite things to do was to bring me a birthday cake every birthday grandma Bartley and mom would show up with the coconut cake and every year I would say mom I like white cake with chocolate frosting and grandma would get a big smile on her face and say oh I'm sorry.  So my mom has this really weird sense of humor but she had a big beautiful smile and a wholehearted laugh that I will miss dearly I think raising a daughter was my mom's biggest challenge 

May you fly with the angels now Pauline.you will be missed greatly,now you are reunited with everyone that has gone before you. Love always Vicki Little you're in a way better place than we are here on earth,no longer sick or hurting anymore.

You are the meaning of love to me! My grandma, my get away driver,  my biggest supporter! How do you say goodbye to someone who’s loved you your whole life.  You’ll always be part of me! 

This was a Crazy day I was told by Katrina to never speak of.

Mom;s birthday she wanted to go to Casino and play Bingo .  Katrina had a new red car and had not adjusted to it being wider than the neon she had before and she went to turn left at the light by the library and hit the middle divider blowing her tire  she was screaming a few choice words and walking around and mom was laughing so hard we had to wait an hour and a half for a tow truck to come and then we got lost on the way and finally made it to the casino where Mom was happy as could be.  We lost, mom got to pick a pet though and Katrina got a T shirt.

Dog really misses Mom and is a little confused about of the changes over the last few weeks.  She is really thankful for the love and support she and the family has received during this sad time.   She is adjusting well to being with the grandchildren and getting spoiled.

Dog greatly misses Mom  and is a little confused at all of the changes that have happened over the last few weeks.   She wants to say thank you to everyone who has been so kind to her and to Mom and has been enjoying all of the extra attention and care from her family and friends.
