"I was one of Pauline’s VICAP neighbors and transported her on many occasions to medical appointments. I LOVED her voice! She and I had a wonderful relationship and I was always glad to be called when she needed a ride. She often talked about her daughters, her husband, her years in Phoenix; we never ran out of things to talk about. When she was planning and preparing to move, we talked about her room, what things she would take and what would stay here. She did not plan to return to Phoenix. I’m sorry she’s gone and hope her time in IL was as lovely as she thought it would be. I missed her then and miss her even more now. Liz"
In loving memory of
Pauline J. Borek
