Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Aunt Polly was always so much fun to be around and I treasure all our special memories of times together. There are several pieces of her ceramic ware scattered throughout our home that always bring a smile to my heart when seen. I just set up the beautiful nativity the other day that she made.
Love to all, Diane & Steve

Dear Cousins Ron and Sandy and Families,
We were saddened to hear of the death of your mother and grandmother. You have our heartfelt sympathy. There are many special memories that I hold in my heart. Aunt Polly was a very special person to those who knew and loved her. Thinking of you all and you are in our prayers.

Ron & Sandy,
I am sorry to hear of Aunt Polly's passing. I will always remember the good times we had Christmas Eve at her house and the fun we had visiting in Virgina. She will be missed but the rest of the family will be glad to be with her again. My thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.
