To let you know our Mom Pauline passed away Sun. May 25th 2008. She had fallen back in Dec and broke her left hip and was in medical rehab. Mom had many set backs w/ congestive heart failure, infections, and insufficient kidney function. Our comfort is she is no longer suffering. She is w/ our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. We miss her greatly. Mom left us on Memorial Day Week end. She stayed active w/ the Ex Prisoners of War.group after her husband.- Charlie Shafer- an ex prisoner of war of WW11 died. . Mom was a nurse for 35+ years. It just so happened two of the nurses she worked w/ were also working at the rehab facility and visited her regularly. Two other nurses were patients there so they all shared a mini reunion and recounted memories of past days.
Our Mom was an awesome lady. We will miss her dearly. Bob, Jeff, & Gayle
