Mary Luckett "Polly" Murray

Hi,

I never had the pleasure of knowing you Polly, but I happened upon your book today. It already brought me some needed reminding of the medical community's behavior toward me and a sense of someone who "got" it. I know I didn't know you, yet I feel I did. RIP Polly. <3 and condolences to all family and friends.

I loved Polly very much, as well as your Dad, and your whole family! Great memories playing at your house in Lyme, CT, including riding on the zip line. Polly's paintings are some of my all time favorite artwork. Our parents shared a dry sense of humor and I loved their laughter. I am grateful that my sister Katherine Cahouet Connolly was able to attend the service and see you all. Please know that I would love to see any and all of you if you ever make it this way to Santa Fe, NM. Very...

Polly was such a remarkable woman, mother, artist, good friend to our mother and so many other things. Polly proved with her life that it is indeed true that one person doing what is right can change the world. Her courage and perseverance added Lyme disease to the medical lexicon. Peace Polly

I wish I could have met Polly! What an amazing story and legacy. Blessings to all in her family.

So sorry for the loss of this wonderful woman with a tremendous spirit of love and compassion and wisdom. Rest in Peace.

I hope Polly and my mother are walking on a long sandy beach together.. they have a lot of catching up to do!

Thank you so much Polly for your pioneering efforts as first Lyme activist. It was impressive to visit your town two years ago while reading your book.

On behalf of the community of Lyme patients in the Netherlands. Condoleances to your family and friends. Rest in peace Polly.

As a Lyme patient and mother of Lyme patients, Polly's example meant everything to me during the long, very dark crucible of suffering which my family endured from 1988 onward for over twenty years. She was a very quietly classy heroine and we owe her so very much.
I celebrate her life.
Condolences to her family and friends.

Polly Murray: My very best friend all throughout our high school years. We had truly wonderful times, and called each other "Sis". Her actual sister's name was the same as mine..Nina..though pronounced differently. Her brother and I went out on dates and for awhile I wore his school ring around my neck. When college came, she went on to on to Mount Holyoke, and I went to Vassar..but we were bridesmaids in each others weddings and maintained our friendship throughout the years. The...
