Dear Dale, I am sorry that your wife died. I did not know her or about her death until you mentioned it to me at Massoud's wake. Thank you for letting me know. I wonder if she went to the ER not only the day she died but before when you and I were both there with our spouses, because I was out of Iowa the day she died in 2010. I'm hoping happy memories now predominate over your loss. With all best wishes, I am

What a wonderful lady! I have known her all my life. If memory serves me right, my mom said that Polly was the first to know they were expecting. Polly will be truly missed. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can do, please call!
