Please accept our sincere sympathy in the passing of Pauline, she was a wonderful Christian lady who enjoyed life to the fullest, our thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this difficult time.
Death is not the end, it is only the passing on from time into eternity for the Children of God. Death is not extinguishing the light, it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come.

Hal, Val and family. I was so sorry to hear about your moms passing. Such a kind and wonderful spirit who always welcomed you into your home. She was always so delighted to run into me when I was home and wanted to know how things for me were going. I know she would often ask my Grandma about me as well. I also know how my Grandma spoke so highly of her and how cherished their friendship was to her. Sending you all my love. Xoxo Carrie Gilbert.

Dear Hal, Val and family, I am so sorry for your loss, my prayers and thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time. Whenever I would meet your mom on the street she would always have time to visit. Her care and kindness for others was endless. My mom would take her cookies or her famous butter tarts and your mom would always share her wonderful meat pies. I know my mom always enjoyed her visits with your mom, they meant a great deal to her. I received a card after mom's passing that I’ve thought of so often,”Sorrow is not forever......Love Isl.

It is a sadder, darker world without Pauline in it. Her many contributions to the community are amazing but it was her role in the family as the steady force of calm, reason, and compassion that we will remember. So many lovely meals at 95 main street, so many turkey pot pies, so many Christmas evening drinks in front of the fire with Gordon's slide shows. All of us here in Mississauga (Mary, Steve, William and Julia) are sad and send our hugs and love. Helen is especially sad about losing her sister-in-law and friend of nearly 62 years. Hugs and love to Hal, Val, Steve, Kelly, Erin today and every day. XO

Hal and Val
My condolences to you and your family. I must have known your mother since Hal and I met in Kindergarten but grew up with her through IODE both before and after I became a member. As the Chapter's present archivist I have been able to read minutes and enjoy scrapbooks highlighting her good works and fun times with Confederation Chapter. Your mother joined the Chapter on April 3, 1956 and gave 110% to the Chapter and to all of the other local groups she was involved in.
May you find joy in memories of her and celebrate all she did for others.

I have many fond memories of curling with Pauline and Christmas celebrations at her home as a secretary to Gordon (Mr. Shaw). I still have a handwritten appetizer recipe that Pauline gave me, she was a wonderful cook. They were a beautiful couple. My sympathies to the Shaw family. I truly enjoyed the video that Pauline made of her memories.

On your moms 90th Birthday l picked her up and we went to lunch at 12:00 and we never left until 3:00. I had never had the chance to just visit with her by myself. We covered a lot of ground of memories of our family and yours.
She was a good customer and friend to my mother. Pauline was a wonderful lady and will be missed by everyone she touched.

Hal, Val and family, our sympathies to you all on the passing of a wonderful lady. Being a classmate of Hal’s right from “the beginning”, I knew your Mom my entire life and she certainly was a fixture in the town and in my parents’ life as well. Living in Port Elgin for awhile, getting to know Isabel and David allowed us an extra glimpse into your Mom’s life and we appreciated Pauline and Gord always stopping by the pharmacy to say hello when in town. She will be missed, but your memories of her life well lived will serve you well. Randy and Dawn Luckham
