  This is from my dad Joe who because of health reasons could not be present To: Carla,Charles,Becky,David,Randy and the entire family: Pauline as you know was my sister-in-law. We were more like brother and sister than in-laws. She always shared her deepest thoughts with me. She was extremely loyal and trustworthy. She treated our entire family as an integral part of her own. We talked often by phone and i will sadly miss her being around. Love JOE

  Cindy Pauline Giannini

  Webster�s Dictionary defines aunt as �the sister of one�s father or mother �. It makes sense that I never called her �Aunt Pauline � , because she was much more than my mother `s (Frances ) sister. Pauline took care of me from infancy thru adulthood. She flew to Philadelphia when I sustained a severe ankle injury while attending Thomas Jefferson University. She brought with her a Large (30 inch) suitcase packed with food. Not only did she prepare full course dinners (roast, potatoes, vegetables, & dessert) for me �she insisted I invite my friends to eat with us. By the 2nd day my friends called her Aunt Pauline. I remember just wanting to be with her. She made draining �muck �out of a swimming pool, scrubbing the pool down, sanding & painting it seem like fun. I spent many a summer evening playing scrabble, crazy marbles, or putting together jigsaw puzzles around a card table in her living room. Pauline was a great cook however the ability to put 15+ dishes on the table for holiday meals was amazing. One Thanksgiving when I assisting she asked me to start cooking peas for Carla and heat up the gravy. When I told her all 4 burners were full, she showed me how to place 2 pots one 1 burner (it can be done). Pauline spoiled me. When I told her I was envious of her adult kids having Christmas stockings, she hung one up for me each year. If I came home for the weekend she�d call me on Saturday morning to invite me over for breakfast. Old habits die hard as even in my forties when she fixed me French toast with cherry preserves she cut it up for me before she placed it on the table. Several years ago Pauline started saying a rosary for me every day. Guess she thought I only needed one �..some people on her list got several rosaries a day. Charles, Randy, David, Becky, and Carla: Thank you for sharing her with me all these years. Cindy

  To Paulines Family, I worked at the Hub in 1969-71. I was Leo D'Anniball's secretary. I dealt with many of the 2nd floor buyers, and Pauline was one of my favorites. She had childrens clothing, I think. My condolences to all of you. She treated me like a daughter and I will remember her fondly.

  Carla, I am sorry for the loss of your mother. One could tell of the close relationship the two of you had. I don't think anyone could count the daily phone calls about books or soaps...Lets face it, you are the baby and probably the favorite...I'm sure some of your moms traits are now your traits... I'm sure her love will always be felt with you and your family. Remember, families are forever!!! ps I'm positive you "keep a good house" because of your mom. Jason

  I will always remember my Grandmother as the woman I would like to become. She was a beautiful, strong woman who deeply valued family and God. She would always light her prayer candle for me when I had an important exam to take when I was in nursing school. She was one of the first phone calls I made the day I went to the hospital to give birth to my son. I found strength in knowing she was praying for me to have a safe and health baby. I could always count on her to pray for me when I needed it the most. I will also remember my Grandmother as a great cook. Nobody could pull off a great Thanksgiving or Christmas meal like her. She always managed to make the holidays so special for everyone. Last but not least, I will remember her strong will to live her life. She fought and managed to get up and keep on moving! She told me one day that she wouldn't let her disability get the best of her and there was too much to live for. She made it a priortiy to say active by regularly attending mass, keeping in touch with her friends in her card club and visiting her family. There is no doubt in my mind she is in heaven right now resting peacefully. She lived a long and full life. A life she can be proud of. Raye Linn Leukart

  Carla, Becky and Family, Joey and I are deeply saddened and you have our deepest sympathies. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Your mother was a wonderful person and we loved sharing Y&R moments with her! We think back and laugh about how mad she was at Joey for being late to Tony & Carla's wedding! Pauline was never at a loss for words and was as honest as the day is long. She meant a lot to many, many people and will be truly missed. With much love, Val & Joey
