All who love Polly: May the Lord of life surround you with his peace and envelope you with his grace until you are reunited with her again. I pray for you to experience what Corrie Ten Boom said that "There is no pit so deep that His love is not deeper still."

While I never knew Polly, I do know her daughter, Patti, and have a dear affection for her and her husband and children. God's promised peace is resting upon her today and she is certainly overwhelmed in a wonder way at seeing Jesus. We are grateful that her suffering has ended and pray that her family has good and fond memories that will help them meet the days ahead. Much love in Christ, Jim & Terry

I pray the comfort of our Lord Jesus to each family member in the homegoing of your mother, grandmother, relative. She must have certainly been special to raise someone like Patti. May your memories of her be sweet, knowing that her pain is gone and she is now whole. Blessings.

Polly Jones was my special friend.
She worked side by side with me in the ministry for women at Victory Christian Center. Her gift of hospitality and creativity in floral arrangement and cooking were a great asset to the church. Personally she was a dear friend whom I enjoyed sharing recipes with and shopping as well as trying out new restaurants.
A very loyal person her love for her family was first and foremost. Polly
I love you and I know you are free and
living it up in heaven.

I extend my thoughts and prayers to the family. I always had a high regard for Polly, as did my mother. She was a hard worker, and very thoughtful of others. My mother always had a special place in her heart for Polly. May the family always keep her memories precious in their hearts.
