Pretty Polly will always have a special room in my heart. After 9 years, I occasionally go into that room; Polly and myself sit and talk.

Every year I find little notes and things that remind me of good memories with Polly. My husband and I cherish every class and social time we shared with her. Even though she left too soon she lives on in her incredible art. RIP Dear Polly.

I still think of Polly whenever I sit down to paint or draw. She had such talent and it still saddens me that she was gone too soon. I remember the fun we had painting a mural at Williamsburg Presbyterian together and all the classes I took with her. She was a dear person with a beautiful smile.

Sev and Tessa,
As you know, your mom was a special person and the people who knew her and admired her will be reminded of her kind heart and her love for her children and life each time we see one of her wonderful pieces of art. I am so sad about her death but she will live on through the two of you.
