It's been many years since I had the pleasure of working with Polly - all the way back to her days at Windsong Records and Management III - but I adored those days and loved every minute of my time with Polly. I cheered as she moved through the label ranks and celebrated her successes, though we hadn't been in touch for ages. My heart goes out to her loved ones, and my prayers are for her everlasting peace and joy.
