To the family & friends of Polly - it has been awhile since I have seen her, but I use to work w/her at Cat Inc in the Planning Dept. I want to tell all 'I am so Sorry' and offer my sympathy. She was a wonderful person!

I worked with Polly at Caterpillar for many years. We still kept in touch after we retired. I shall miss her and her funny emails. I'm sorry I can't come to Illinois. The world won't be the same without her.
