A Tribute to a Beautiful Soul – Pauline

Though I only knew Pauline for a few short months, it feels as though we were friends for a lifetime. There was something so natural, so easy, and so joyful about being around her. In that short time, she made a lasting impression on me with her warmth, kind words and her wicked sense of humour.

We often said, "In different circumstances, we would’ve had the best times," and I believe that with all my heart. There was so much laughter waiting for us, so many adventures we never got to take. But even in the little time we had, Pauline gave me memories I will always cherish.

She was a light — brief, bright, and unforgettable. I feel lucky to have known her, even briefly. And I will carry that friendship, that potential, and that spark with me always.

To Pauline's family, who are all such lovely, kind-hearted people, my heart goes out to you. Please know that you are in my thoughts. Pauline will forever be remembered, and her light will live on in all the lives she touched.

Rest peacefully, dear Pauline. You are missed more than words can say

Ma Pauline, the most amazing mother-in-law I could ever have wished for. Always had my back no matter what! You nicknamed me velcro butt, something we laugh at to this day! Miss and love you always, Stephen xx
