We were school friends in Springfield for many years and shared memories at reunions. Our thoughts and prayers are with Polly's family. May she rest with the peace of our Lord.

Polly is an integral part of my school day memories, and then later I loved listening to the stories about Polly from my Mother-in-law, Nina Horsky, who thought so highly of Polly and her sister. My sympathies to the family. Faith
