I am sorry I cannot come Sat as I will be working but am glad we had Polly as part of our church. She and Andy were
delightful folks. We will miss both of them. They were faithful at coming to church when able and such a gentle lady.

Polly was a wonderful soul and so generous. She had a special light about her and she was the smartest woman I have known. I am sure her, Andy and her parents are having a special reunion right now. Prayers are with you.
