Polly had so many friends and people whose lives she touched along her journey. We are so sorry for her loss - hard to believe we can't just go see her up on the hill anymore. She is with Mel now.

She made the best darned pickles you ever ate and she was a joy to be around.

Art, Sandie and Lloyd,
What a special lady your mother was! She always made us feel welcomed when we came to visit. We always loved having her come to visit as well. It will be hard when we come back to California and not make that special trip. I loved her dearly and she will always have a place in my heart. Prayers are with all of you...love you all.
