I was sadden to hear of Pollys passing. My mother also is a resident of Our Lady of Hope. Visiting weekly for the past two years, I have grown attached to the residents and miss seeing them. The Christopher center isn't the same without Polly, Louise, Gladys and Mary Alice. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To Polly's family: We just met Polly about a month ago when we moved my mother to Our Lady of Hope and found her to be such a sweet lady. We were so sorry to hear of her passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
