Marchel, I'll always remember your mother taking our ticket money and selling us candy at the theater. All those summers at the movies were such a joy for many of us growing up, and thanks to your family we have great memories. Blessings to you all at this difficult time.

For the thirty years we lived in Gackle, we could always count on seeing your Mom at the theater. Her smile always greeted us and she seem to always remember what treat we would need. Pauline was always sharing her flowers, veggies, and friendship throughout the community -- and if she would be in her yard and we'd walk by -- there would always be good conversation. God bless you with peace. With our sympathy. Mark, June, Andy, Darcy, Codi and Bob

Marchel~ I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. When I think of Gackle, the theater automatically pops into my mind as well as yourself and your mom working. Those were great times and great memories. May your memories sustain you during this time.
