Dear Price family,
I had the pleasure of knowing Polly for nearly 30 years. We were members of the San Antonio Writer's Guild and she got me to join another club she belonged to the local chapter of the National Society of Arts and Letters.
We worked on many projects together from putting national conventions and Fiesta floats together to producing cable TV shows.
She was always fun to talk to, full of life and never thought any project was too big for us to handle.
She was a great friend and I will miss her.
My deepest sympathy to her family.

I first met Polly through the San Antonio Romance Authors, and she interviewed me on her show when my first book came out. But I really got to know her when she came to home every week for a critique group with our friends Jan Kilby and Angela Hoover. We read and critiqued each other's work, but, most importantly, we supported and encouraged one another. Polly made those sessions a delight each week, and I miss those special times.

My condolences to the family. I hope fond memories of Polly and the knowledge of how many lives she touched will bring you comfort.

Dear Price Family:

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved. There are never any right words to express how deeply sad I am for the pain your family is enduring at this difficult time.

Although I did not have the honor and pleasure of knowing her, as Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I am sincerely thankful for her valiant service in defense of our rights and freedom.

Her commitment to family, friends, our community, and to serving our great nation leaves a wonderful legacy. May the love and the wonderful memories you shared with her help you when you need it most. She will never be forgotten, and your family will be remembered in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Polly Price. I worked at the cable company and worked on her show many times.

She was always so nice and gracious to all of us. I don't recall ever seeing her without a smile!

To her family, my deepest sympathy.

Peace be with you,
Juliet Reyes Rodriguez
