Dear Becky, Ryan & Daniel,
The memorial service for Polly was so beautiful and moving and I know she is smiling down on all of you. The entire Pratt family is so blessed to be part of such a loving and close family. Polly was the grandmother that every child should have growing up. I, too, am blessed with a family that understands the true meaning of love and family. I know you will all miss her dearly but as mentioned yesterday, she'll always be with you. You will find her in your sisters, brother, nieces and nephews. I'm so blessed to have known Polly and I will never forget some of the great conversations I had with her over the years. She taught me a lot through example of how she lived her life and also validated things I already knew. Ryan and Daniel, I'm so happy that you have such a strong foundation on which to grow and live your life. The love that both of you have in your hearts and the strong faith that has been instilled in you will carry you a long way. It will get you through life's difficult times just as God's love will heal all of you mourning the loss of Polly.

Dear Polly, I will truly miss your heart warming smile and your sweet gentle spirit. And through the years I will always cherish the times I got to spend with you. Your life has been a gift and a true inspiration to us all. May God speed you onto His heavenly kingdom and grant you rest, peace and everlasting life and happiness. I love you Polly.
Love and Prayers to the entire Pratt Family, and if there is anything I can do, I am here for you.
With heartfelt sympathy and much love,
Bonnie
