You may not remember me, Diane Kunkel - I grew up with your family on Versailles Road. We lived across the street from your farm. My Mom and Polly were very good friends. Mom, May Kunkel, had the greenhouses full of african violets.
David, Frankie, and Eddie played together with Freddie Moore, Joe Sims, Bill McManigal, and me. Polly was a very sweet, kind lady to all of us. I shall always remember her with sweet memories. I'm so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers.
In Christ,
