I was so heartbroken hearing about Polly, she was such a sweet and happy lady while I cared for her at Northwood Village. It was a joy talking with her and hearing about her grandchildren whenever i stopped in to help. May she rest in peace, we will all miss you Pauline.

So sorry to hear about Polly. Years ago while growing up we lived on the corner of First and Bodner. They lived in the house behind Ava's. Tim was just a baby. She was a very nice person, again so sorry for your loss.
