My deepest sympathy to Polly. I know that your family was close and I will continue to remember my days at St. John's with all of you giving of your time to collate and stuff the weekly newsletter. I have thought of you all very often. I know that Dickie will be greatly missed. Polly, I will keep you in my prayers that God my comfort you during this time of grief and mourning. He is with you always and will give you strength throughout each day. - Teresa Conner Martin

I worked closely with Dickie for many years thru St. John's Episcopal Church. She and Polly were always there when we needed them. I lost touch when I moved to NC ten years ago but her beautiful smiling face and memories I still carry in my heart. She will be missed. Polly may God hold you in the palm of his hand and bring you peace during this time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sonya McCaul

Dickie has been a loyal true friend to me for many, many years. She and Martha McGee even cleaned my house when Jim died and I was out. The bad thing was they found my old worn-out vacum cleaner. Now that is a true friend for you. I could always count on the Moynihans to help in a crisis at the Church. My deepest sympathy to Polly dear. Ruby Harlow
