Dear Isabella,

Dear Isabella,
I will cherish the time I spent both working with your mom at the Lisner Home and getting to know her as a friend. She was truly a remarkable lady; she had such style and flair! I will always smile when I think of her. My deepest sympathies on your loss.

I am so fortunate to have been able to call Polly, my friend. Love, Hele Hoenig

Dear Isabella,
We were so sorry to hear about Polly's illness, and then it was all over a few days after we heard she was ill. We will miss her humor and her intellectual and artistic gifts. With deepest sympathy, Patrick Brogan and Janet Satterthwaite

I worked with Polly at Dumbarton Oaks and am shocked and saddened. She was a wonderful and witty woman--she was a pleasure to be around.
