Ray,

Polly was one of the true bright spots of my childhood and I am so glad to have known her. She always brought good laughs and lots of smiles. I miss her but am joyful that she is now with our Lord in glory. I pray God's peace for you and the entire family.

Polly, we will miss you, you were a GREAT lady, and a real hoot to be around. I will never forget watching you play 42 and Bingo.
Rest well, we will see you again.
