Polly was a special lady in my life and in the life of my children. I am so glad to have had a final visit with her in 2012. Polly's beautiful smile and pleasant personality will be memories which I will cherish. She was an angel, always giving in her life on Earth and now in Heaven. I will be there Friday to celebrate her life.
Love to all, Judy Abraham Richards
