Dear George and all the family,
I shall never forget my lovely friend Pola. Met her first at a Fall Festival at St. Simon & Jude many years ago. And enjoyed the gift shop there so much because she did such a good job with it. But the most vivid and God gifting memory I have of her is the time we spent help Mary Feist on her way to heaven. July 2006 we were at lunch at Az Eastern Star with Mary just six weeks before she passed. Thank you, so much for the time Pola spent with me at St Jerome's as we renagades prayed the Mass on Sundays. God ease our loss. Joyce Tener

Joe,
I remember your family and of course your mother as a wonderful lady to be around. She was always welcoming to me after school (Ocotillo) when we rode our bikes to your house, across the field of antennas, to hang out. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Dear Valverde's & Family:
I wish all of you peace in knowing that Pola lived a good, long and happy life surrounded by family and dear friends.
Her religion kept her strong in difficult times and filled with joy in good. The example she set produced fine children and a part of her will live for generations to come.
Our condolences.
