My condolences to the family. May your memories of her bring you strength, joy and peace. I will miss seeing her and dancing with her at the Eagles. She brought me joy and I admired her greatly! Such a positive, upbeat spirit that anyone who spoke with her couldn't help but be lifted up.

So sorry for your loss. We so enjoyed when Pauline was at the Eagles. She absolutely loved Wipe Out. And we loved to do it for her. Rest easy Pauline.
