Words cannot express my gratitude for managing my Mums last day so beautifully.  Your time spent with the family in the days beforehand was done with a very real sense of peace, calm and professionalism, but most of all your manner conveyed a genuine desire to support the family through this difficult time.  Your gentle and guiding assistance with family decisions helped towards a day that will be remembered with much love and contentment by all who attended.    

On behalf of all Mums family and friends, please accept our sincere thanks for assisting in a wonderful celebration.                       ...Jan  Eves  April 20 2009
  

When our dear mother passed away in March we immediately called on Pauline to conduct the service having heard of her reputation as a celebrant.  Pauline demystified (cleared out the BS. especially for Dad!!) the whole process for us and helped us design a very warm and fitting s ervice celebrating the life of a very special lady.

Her suggestions and her caring way in the lead up to the funeral greatly assisted us all through a difficult time. Pauline’s clarity of speech, command of the English language and sense of timing really made a great contribution to the actual service on the day.                                                       ...Alan  Digby March 2009

Beyond The Veil
At the age of seventeen, Pauline Grogan entered the convent and seven years later took her final vows. At age 29, desecrated and bewildered, she found herself back within the secular world, having to begin her life all over again.  When Penguin Books published Pauline's Autobiography they described her book as:

"The Extraordinary Story of an Ordinary New Zealand Woman - "Touching, inspirational and sometimes shocking it is the tale of survival and the triumph of love and faith in the face of abuse and apparently insurmountable odds".

A View from Within...
is Pauline Grogan's highly anticipated book about the life of James Lynch, a heroic and inspirational person who has touched many peoples lives. 

" 'A View from Within' is one of the most inspirational, spiritual memoirs I have ever read. James Lynch was indeed paralysed for most of his life, but in reading about it, I feel I have walked with a luminous spirit - one who, by acceptance of suffering, transcended it." -   Author Robert Waldren, Boston, USA
