To all you "Caldwell Kids" I am deeply sorry not to have had a chance to say in person what I feel about your mother. Polly was a bright spark in our lives. Always fun, always laughing, wonderful hostess at the famous Caldwell holiday parties and at every sleepover I enjoyed at your house. Miss those carefree days and the deep friendship she maintained with our Mum 'til the very end. This marks the close of their special era of grace, beauty and fun and I am so very sorry for your loss. All my love, Joan
