Pauline had a special group of friends here at the LGH Health Campus Physical Therapy.  I have known and treated Pauline for over 5 years.  The whole PT and office staff knew Pauline.  She always gave 100% effort in her rehab and yet loved to joke around and have fun, too. We will truly miss that smile and her laugh, her sligh look out of the corner of her eye…God Bless you Pauline.

My name is Melissa Papez and Pauline was one of the first patient’s I ever worked with in the physical therapy department at the Health Campus.  She was so sweet and kind and always had a smile on her face despite all of her ongoing health issues.  I feel like we were her second family because she would always stop by around Christmas time to give the staff cards.   I was so saddened when I saw her obituary in the paper this past weekend.  My heart goes out to her husband and other family.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
