Brad, Lois & Charlotte
Your mother was a wonderful person & loved by her family and many friends. She was so giving, funny, friendly & so much more. When my family, Armin, Erika, Gerhard, Gerda & Ingrid Wolfram, came to this country in 1957 she was a member of the church that sponsored us. She was instrumental in securing and furnishing a rental home when we arrived. Polly never met a stranger. We were blessed to have renewed our friendship with your mother and your families in the latter years. We will miss her, her laughter & friendship. Harold & Gerda Davis
