Creamed chicken, chicken soup and homemade bread were on the menu for their regular Sunday dinner, which the whole family enjoyed.

Closer to home, Pauline was devoted to attending various school functions, which included the annual Christmas program. Pauline made beautiful crocheted and knitted pieces that her family will cherish.
