Gordon and family, Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Taken too soon. Vesty family.
Dear Gordon, Paula, Donna, Matthew and families, Deepest sympathy to you in the sudden passing of lovely Pauline. May you find comfort in beautiful memories of her caring love Dorothy & Rachel Horwell
Dear Gordon and family We were so sorry to read about your sad loss. We have fond memories of our time at Norfolk when Kaye was a VERY young member of the Junior Room dressed in her hand-me down clothes. It was so great of Pauline to let her have her afternoon sleep at the school house if you needed a reliever in a hurry. Country schools had a special character. I hope that your memories will help to sustain you all into the future. Kind regards Pam Berntsen
Dear Gordon Sorry to read about Pauline. My memories went back to Norfolk School, delivering and selling books to you. The many laughs we had in the staffroom over some of my book " picks". Pauline always had a smile and cuppa ready. Take care. Kia Kaha Vicki Ingles (kendall)

To Gordon and family, I have such lovely memories of working alongside Pauline at Inglewood High School. She was an amazing woman who cared deeply for the students, teachers and teacher aides she worked alongside. She was so genuine, kind and caring, an absolute pleasure to work with. I learnt so much from her. My thoughts are with you all at this very sad time. Trish Barnett
