She was my friend . I shared my feelings my secrets my life with her. She was there for me in my time of need.  She was like my mother . She was there to help me through things and fulfill the small things  my mother could no longer do for me. I went to her when I was alone and when I needed a friend . I loved Pauline

She held everyone in her life and everyone she met and in  a special place in her hart. 

She always had a positive outlook and had something positive to say about everyone she met . She always held a special memory for everyone .

In memory of my grandma! She was a challenge but I learned a lot from her that allowed me to grow and helped me become the adult I am today. I just have to say I was incredibly blessed to live with her as a adult, memories/conversations that are completely priceless. I live my life to make my family proud and knowing that I accomplished that goal fulfills my heart. Beautiful memories I will have even in times of struggle, I will still treasure the time I had with her! The fake speed racing sounds well pushing her in her wheel car and anyone that knew her, knew she was a scaredy cat and totally hated that. All of the grandchildren were silly like that with her. Whenever I talked to her on the phone or visited her I'd ask what are you doing? No matter what she'd say I'd always say were you dancing??  I had hopes to see her up and about, what can I say I'm a dreamer . Services yesterday were beautiful and it was great to see people I hadn't see in a long time. Which reminded me of the monthly parties my grandma would have and after my Auntie Dee, I took over accompanying my grandma to these parties. I learned so much about the lives of these women, family and friends. Thank you to all that took the time to celebrate my grandma Pauline's life. May she now rest in peace.

I'm missing you everyday mom..love you so much....you are truly my best friend..I miss telling you everything and always without judgement..I know you are now my guardian angel ..I was truly blessed to have a mom like you..love you always mom
