Polly was our dear and cherished friend. We shared many marvelous memories starting with Syracuse,NY and continuing over many years. They came to Ft. Lauderdale and we visited them in CA. We'll look back on the fun and laughter we shared.

I have known Polly for what seems like forever, her parents being God-Parents to some of us Drake children. She was like a cousin. We have kept in touch via e-mail in recent years. I will miss her.

Polly was my oldest living friend- our friendship going back to about 4th grade in Syracuse, N.Y. She lived across the street from me and we shared many childhood experiences such as dancing school,elocution lessons, walking to school daily, and many hours playing together.
I am so happy that I was able to visit her last June as a side trip from San Diego while visiting my daughter. Polly never lost her wonderful fun loving spirit and fabulous sense of humor. She will be greatly missed by me and many others. Thank goodness I have so many happy memories of our times together.
My deepest sympathy is sent to her loving family.
Fondly, Joan Eastman

We will miss Polly, but she has left us with wonderful memories of fun and good times. We will also miss her emails and Christmas cards that were so special. Rest in peace Polly.

I have lived across the street from Polly for over 6 years, she would walk over and check on neighbors just to make sure things were okay. I will miss seeing her smiling face and her waving a hello. Polly, you will be missed here on Texas Ave.
God bless you!!!
