Enjoyed our times to gether with D & D and also as a friend. Wonderful memories - Dorothy
Many special moments come to mind, when I think of the many Region VII meetings, ADDC conventions, curling, golf and other social Desk & Derrick events that we shared. My friend, Polly, will be missed, but always treasured.
Polly was a dear close friend of my Mother Hattie and the two of them had many wonderful times & adventures during their D&D years and later in retirement. I will fondly remember her wonderful spirit. God Bless you Polly.
I will never forget you my friend... Love and prayers on your journey home.
Donna Barrett shared such wonderful moments about Polly; when she gave the eulogy on Thursday night. She had us laughing and crying. Thank you for that! Miss you Mom!
