We shared stories and songs and cigarettes....yes...Pauline even let us smoke on the bus after all the other children were dropped off. Always very nice to all of us. Sincere condolences to the family.

  • I have fond memories - Pauline helped me when I was very little with spelling. I had done very well in spelling tests because of Pauline. May you rest in peace. Pat (Zuk) & Bill Maksymchuk

  • Darlene, I remember riding the school bus when your mom was driving, she always seemed to make the trip so much fun and faster somehow. She was a wonderful person and I will miss her instant smile and meeting up with her around town. Our Deepest Sympathy you and your family.
