Thank you Polly for all the great kid memories you gave me. When we lived across the street from you on Barrymore back in the 60's, my sisters and I often played at your house with Pam, Charlie and Randy. You gave us cookies, fed us bologna sandwiches on Wonder Bread, picked us up from Cleveland school, and watched us quite a bit. I remember your taped spit curls, you constantly twirling those curls in your fingers, your rich, powerful voice, that legendary tussle with Evelyn, and the beautiful red '64 Plymouth Belvedere you drove. Great memories from a great lady. Thank you so much!

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Polly was an awesome woman, who taught the young women in recovery a lot about being a strong self sufficient woman. I was new to the County when I worked with Polly & she was always so patient with me, always including me in projects etc... the world was a better place because of Polly...

To Polly's Family:
I know you don't remember me. (I was your cousin Jimmy Gentry's girlfriend in 1968.)I use to baby sit you, many years ago, when your Mother & Father lived here in Stockton. Your Mother was alway so nice to me. She and Georgia & Aunt Polly will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Always remember the good times.

Polly was a wonderful woman, and I had the pleasure of working with her at the old FOCUS/Family Ties program site on California Street. I just loved her sense of humor and her love for the women we served.
