Pauline was very special. Unique. Open-hearted. She was never going to get lost in the run-of-the-mill, the bland, the middling. She stood out - not because she wanted or needed attention, but because she knew the power of communicating through her dress and personal style. How it reaches people, how it changes their mood, how it makes them feel. And BOY- did she have personal style! Masses of it. She was the very essence of chic and pazzaz. She had IT. This is no shallow compliment; to have that kind of gift, it has to come from inside, a clever and concise knack of knowing how to put things together. An awareness of colour and cut to know what will delight and compliment. But this was not all she offered. As the Front Line in what was at times a very difficult working environment, filled with conflict, fuelled by frustration and anger of clients, Pauline brought calm, commanded respect, and presented a role model for young people and adults alike. I will not forget her. We shared many interests, are the same age, and had many bonding sessions over clothes and shoes, hats and jewellery. I love to think that she is enjoying herself on that beach now, feeling the sun on her face as she lies on a vintage recliner with beautifully quaffed hair and a beach outfit that is just the thing. Shine on Pauline.
