Brian and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Polly was a dear friend of mind and I know she will be missed. She is in a better place now with sunny beaches, consignment stores, lot’s of kitty friends and laughing her wonderful laugh. Andrea Wertz
I knew Polly from childhood. I remember that she had an absolutely amazing doll house, and I loved to play with it whenever I visited her house. Decades later, my older sister and I bought a huge and awesome doll house at an auction, and I thought of Polly. I still have the doll house, but will be giving it to my little granddaughter in the very near future. But every time I look at it, I do, and always will, think about Polly. And to the family: Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss.
