Aunt Polly was always so upbeat. She was beautiful and as a young woman reminded me of Grace Kelly. Her artistic ability was so evident and she always said that she wished that she could have continued to paint in her later years. I will always cherish the painting that she painted for my parents that now hangs in my home. Niece Nancy

I felt honored to have a chance to get to know Polly, even though it was for just a short time. I visited Polly several times as a Portsbridge Hospice volunteer. I will remember Polly's upbeat spirit, humor and warmth. I wish Garrett and the rest of her family peace and healing as they mourn.
