Pauline was not only a first cousin, but a very dear friend. Her memories I will forever cherish. My condolence to her children please know  you're  in my prayers.

It was a blessing to have Ms Pauline in my life. She supported her daughter and me in many of our silly ventures and even joined us too. I will always look forward to seeing her reactions during those times. I will forever cherish those moments.  Love you always! 

I met Ms. Pauline in September I was her caregiver and we were close friends. She taught how to cook fish heads which I never thought I would ever do.  She even taught me how to make gumbo. We talked about her life growing up and about how proud she is of her kids. We would practice walking around the house so she could build up her strength for her daughter's wedding. She was so excited that her daughter was getting married.  All she wanted was to feel better, be happy and to live her life. She made me laugh everyday I saw her. I hope I did the same for her. She did say that I was a crazy girl. 
Until we meet again my special lady.  I love you and miss you. 

Aunt Pauline and my mother Gwen were very close cousins. I remember her always attending my mom’s many house parties and the family reunions in SC. Aunt Pauline was a very sweet woman and she had a very unique voice.  I’d instantly know it was her calling my name whenever we’d run into each other throughout the years. I will keep you and your sister and your families in my prayers. I understand the process of losing a mother for mine departed almost 14 years ago. I pray  God bless and kept you forever as you live life without that MVP.

Pauline and I grew up in the same neighborhood, out Beaver Street, attended elementary and high school together.  I saw her last at the EuGene J. Butler Jr. Sr. High Gala Reunion in 2018.  We had a wonderful fellowship meeting and greeting classmates and neighborhood friends from the past.  I pray that God will Strengthen you her Family and friends during this time of Breavement.  Blessings Always,
Sandra Jenkins
