Special thank you to her devoted caregivers Guada, Abby and Lallaine, and the warm staff of the Dunfield.

Dear Rosanne,
I have such wonderful memories of your mother, from The Dunfield. I’d see her every week, while visiting my mother in law. Sometimes we lunched together in the Bistro, or just passed some time together when we would run into each other. I remember her smile, and how her eyes would twinkle when she’d make a joke about something. Such a fashionable, well groomed lady. And always full of spunk and sparkle!
May her memory be a blessing to you all.

I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I first met “Auntie Pauline”
many years ago through my dear friend Honey. The last time we met was at. Barry’s birthday where we sat and talked about old times and new. She was lovely, charming and a good conversationalist.
May her spirit fly with the angels and May her memory be a blessing for all!
Dear Rubinstein Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Pauline. She was a lovely,stylish and very knowledgeable lady.I was always happy to see her in the Forest Hill Village.
fondly,
