I have great memories of Pauline from our time together at St Mary's in Christchurch. Pauline was a part of the 10:30Mass crew. She was supportive of all and we were all a big family. Her talents as a seamstress helped to create so many robes and altar linens. May she now be resting in the peace of God.
Dear Pauline always appreciated your support especially when I was in the worst of places your words arrived thanks for being you
Andy, Kate It was a joy to have known Pauline. She was selfless and always showed an interest in what I was up to when we caught up. I can see her influence in you both. You are blessed to have her as a mother. My condolences to you and your family. Tim
Dear Aunty Pauline Although it has been many years since we last met or talked I wanted to thank you for the fun times as a child, spending time in your home, playing dress ups and being well cared for. I have fond memories of the dresses you made for us for Phil and Jenny’s wedding, along with My Dream Wedding Dress many years later. You were truly a gifted seamstress. My thoughts are with the Family at this time. Love Ange (niece)
Dear sweet Nana Through shadows deep, the earth opening wide. Rugby cheers, laughter, fish’n’chips by our side. I always felt safe, with you as my guide. Your witty words, a calm to my soul, In your presence, you always made me feel whole. Mistakes I made, yet you saw my worth, In your love, one day I’ll find my rebirth. Your wit and humour was always a treasure, you always saw the best in me. leaving an ever lasting mark that no one could measure. In the warmth of your laughter, I found joy, Proud eyes watching over me, “that’s my boy”. Through my darkest times, you were my light, Rugby games and fish and chips, a bond I will always remember, so right. Farewell, Sweet Nana, for in my heart you'll stay, I really do hope I can make you proud someday. I love your cooking and your detailed stories of life. Maybe one day I’ll find a wife. What ever the journey no matter the strife. I know you’ll always be looking down on our beautiful family for the rest of my life. You went to sleep peacefully in the darkness of night, your life we will always remembered so bubbly and bright. May your spirit live on like an everlasting light. Losing you just seems so rediculous. May you rest in peace. Love you forever, Your Grandson, Nicholas.
