To all who knew my mother… I would sincerely like to thank you for remembering such a great wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She inspired a lot of people with her music and kindness. She lived a great life and was very happy. We are sad and sorry that she had to leave us so soon. I know she is in a peaceful place with her Mom and Dad and brothers and sister. Where she is as happy as she was here at home. Not a day will go by without us thinking of her. We love you forever Mom. Love, Tracey and Stefan

Our condolences on the passing of Auntie Pauline. We will always remember the laughter she shared with family members at Jodi & Larry’s wedding and for her support when her nephew Ed passed on.

Dear Uncle Gil & Cousins,
Too well do James, Marlene, Dad, and I know your pain and loss. I believe Mom and Auntie Pauline are together making up for years lost. There is no more pain for Auntie only peace and happiness with God. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Kuya Gil,Tracey,Tony Les,Dennis,and Paul,
Ever since I was a little a girl my sister Pauline is always my inspiration. We were so saddened she left us too soon. But it is God’s will and there is a reason why. Now she is with my beloved Papa, Mama, brothers and sister.
Altho we are all in deep mourning right now, the pain of loss will diminish and good memories of our love will remain.
Let us all get closer,for Life is short.
I love you all,and Take care
and God Bless. Love always, Auntie Helen, Uncle Bill and Family.
I wished that I had known Pauline better. The few times I met her she was always so happy. I prayed for a miracle for her. I think her miracle was her happy life and wonderful children. She must have been a great mother to have raised such a wonderful daughter. I thank her for giving me my best friend. Love Kathy & Bob
You have our deepest condolences. Our Prayers are with your family.
Danny, Tara, Will & Anna
Dear Gil and Family,
I am so sorry to learn only yesterday April 6th that Pauline has passed away. I remember her as a very gracious, friendly, kind and helpful member of Mount Rainier Chapter – WSMTA. I know that it took a lot of effort to keep the “Music Sale Books” boxes in your car trunk and bring them to monthly meetings for so many years. I remember that about you, Gil, and Pauline. I remember her offering her treasured videos of master piano teachers and pedagogues for other teachers to borrow and learn from – she was happy to share them with us. And, Pauline and her piano students often were seen at Piano Recitals, too. I will say a tribute about Pauline our next meeting in mid -April. I noticed that she had made a donation to the MTNA Foundation in the past year as her name was on a list of contributors just published. I am writing with very pleasant memories of Pauline and Gil. Bless Pauline for all her goodness!
