Polly Polly, I will certainly miss you. You were the best and I can not believe I will never hear your sweet voice again. I hope you are enjoying your eternal home and resting in the arms of Jesus our Savior. That is our hope here on earth. You were so good to my family in years past. Rest and enjoy heaven. God is so good. I loved you and your family. Fay L. Bowers

Polly was a special “Mom” to all of her kids’ friends. Her infectious smile and laughter, kindness, hard-work, patience and love will always be remembered. She certainly helped to make our community, church, and the world a better place. She is now a very special bright star in Heaven forever lighting our way. Sharon, Jean, and Susie (See)
