I was so sorry to read of Polly's death. Ten years ago my husband and I moved to Eastgate Drive and that first summer I met Polly as we walked in the Lindberg Estates neighborhood. When the weather got cold and I went to the mall to walk, what a pleasant surprise to find your mother. At that time your father was also walking, but not taking as many rounds as your mother. On the first Saturday the mall closed, Polly was among the group that gathered at McDonald's for a farewell breakfast. Polly and I would look for each other's car to see who had arrived first to walk. It was a joy to learn to know Polly. The photo is a perfect reflection of a lovely woman with an infectious smile. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you process the years of memories.
