  1. Jamestown ndI am so sorry to hear Pauline has passed away. I wish I would have made it to the funeral I just now found it. Of all my mothers families I have the most memories of Pauline, her and my mother would dance with me when I was little girl. I loved to visit her house I thought it was amazing she had the secret stairs from the bedrooms down to the kitchen. She was always smiling and laughing and happy. Jo Ann

    Family of Pauline,

    I am sorry that Jenny and I will not be able to attend your Mom’s funeral. We are in Mesa, AZ
    for the winter.

    Pauline was the last of our Aunts and Uncles on our Mom’s side.

    I sure enjoyed visiting your mom and dad on the farm in Oakes. and when they were in North Fargo.

    We will pray for here, even though she was a Saint and I am sure she is in Heaven already.

    Dave & Jenny Kramer
