Condolences

Drusilla and Venetta McIntyre asked that I send you their deepest sympathy on the loss of Paulina. I met her at my Moms (Pauline) funeral and she was a great comfort to me. Again she made the trip to Beatrices funeral with Marjorie, and again held my hand when I needed it. While I never got to know her well, she took a stranger and made me feel better when I needed it. I hope that each of you will be as fortunate as I. Thank-you Great-Aunt Paulina for being there for me
