Polly was a dear to many. I had the good fortune of buying several houses with her assistance, plus she was a good friend to myself. She always had a smile on her face and one to share with others.

I extend my deepest sorrow to Polly's family and many friends as she will surely be missed. She was such a caring and wonderful girl and woman as I knew her as both. The memories of our great times together will never be forgotten from England in our teens to our cruises at 50 & 60. We all loved her very much and she will always be an inspiration and have a special place in our hearts. With Peace, Mitch
