HAINES, Pauline Mary:
The family of Pauline sincerely thank all those who supported them in the loss of a much-loved wife, mum and nana.
Perhaps you sent a card, or sat quietly in a chair,
Perhaps you sent some flowers, if so we saw them there.
Perhaps you said the kindest words as only friends can do,
Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you all whatever the part.
