Dear Tom and Family,

Tom
Carolyn and I hold you and your family in our hearts and in our prayers. Polly was a "great lady" who fought the good fight. And how pleased she must have been to live to see her children grown and starting successful careers. All who knew Polly knew her to be an exceptional wife, mother and friend. Carolyn and I will miss her but know she is in a better place right now. The wife of a good friend of ours in Kingwood said on the day of her husbands death, "last night he went to sleep in Kingwood and woke up this morning in Heaven". That's where Polly is now.
