Sheila,
It made me sad to hear that Pollie passed away. I thank God I was blessed to have both Pollie and Dale as the best of friends a person could ask for. I will never forget Walt Night held once a week at their house. I will forever hold those memories close to my hart.
God Bless you and your family through these difficult times.
Your Friend,
Walt Maciejewski

Dear Sheila & family,
I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. It's been a while since I had seen Polly but I will always remember her laugh. When she found something really funny she had a true belly laugh. She enjoyed her life and she really loved her kids. She lived a full life and she will be remembered and missed by all.

I will miss my big sister with whom I shared a complicated and confusing childhood. I have many great memories to cherish and look back on shared laughter, singing together and trying to figure out how all the puzzle pieces fit together.
