We received the news that Pauline Bjonness-Jacobsen, creator of the infamous "Dolls by Pauline" and "Paulinette" lines of dolls, passed away this past Saturday, October 7, 2006, after a long struggle with cancer.
Her son, Ernst, emailed us late last night with the following:
"Dear Friends,
We have heartbreaking news to share with you. Pauline passed away in the early morning of Saturday, October 7th. Throughout her last days, Pauline remained enthusiastic about designing and had her sketch pad and artwork with her.
She remained hopeful about her recovery and excited about all the things which she wanted to do. We will miss her so very, very much but she will always be in our hearts.
I have attached the memorial details we are sharing with family and friends.
We will have an area where we will display photos of Pauline, flowers that she so enjoyed, some of her artwork, as well as a display containing emails, letters and copies of posted messages from the message board on the Pauline Collectibles website.
Warm regards, Ernst"
Pauline will be deeply missed by us all, and never forgotten. . . .
Quote for the Day -
"Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away into the next room,
I am I and you are you;
Whatever we were to each other,
That we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used,
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we shared together.
Let my name ever be the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant,
It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well."
