Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I was so saddened to hear of Polly;s death. She was a beautiful and sweet lady. Nelson served as Pastor at Benvenue Baptist and Polly served beside him. She was an encourager and inspiration to me. I loved them both. I will always remember her sweet smile and spirit. My sincere sympathy to her family that she loved so much. It is good to know she is now in beautiful place in the presence of the Lord she worshipped. She will be missed.
Nelson sorry for your loss. Your family are in my prayers.
