Wish I could have been at the funeral to honor your memory. Thank you Aunt Pauline for always supporting me, loving me, and being an amazing role model to your children, and my Audrey was so lucky to have met you. Peace to you forever
Aunt Pauline was a treasure! She was incredibly unselfish, generous, and loving. She never missed birthdays or anniversaries, carrying on the tradition started by her mom, my Mémère. I have so many fond memories of time spent together over the years. So many shared holidays filled with laughter and love. When our family got together with the Dufours, plus Mémère and Pépère, it was quite the gathering! One example of Aunt Pauline’s generosity is when I was getting married. Aunt Pauline bought church raffle tickets to support St. Aloysius. She designated each ticket for someone and marked what the winnings were for. She put my name on a ticket labeling it “wedding dress for Camille.” I was stunned when she called to explain what she had done and that my ticket won! The $500 winnings did indeed pay for my dress. Just one of the countless thoughtful things she did over the years. I know how deeply my dad loved his sister Pauline and how my mom regarded her as a true sister. I loved her so much and was blessed to have her as my aunt. Sending love to the entire Dufour family from Ed and me and the entire Nemanic family.
It’s surreal—the depth of love one holds for a mother. Losing her shakes the very foundation of your world. When someone so deeply cherished is gone, life seems to carry on around you, yet you’re suspended in stillness, trying to grasp a reality that feels impossible. My mother, Pauline, was profoundly loved, and that love didn’t vanish with her passing. It remains—woven into my memories, echoed in my words, and reflected in everything I do.
My dearest memories of my Great Aunt Pauline are of the many loving birthday cards I received throughout my childhood. And continued birthday comments on Facebook. As I have gotten older, I’ve realized more deeply just how thoughtful and loving it was of her to always remember our birthdays! May she rest in peace and her memory will always be a blessing. ❤️
To the sweetest person I've ever known, my Mom. You will always have a part of my heart, and your loving memory will stay with me for the rest of my life. I love you so much.
