As an Election Official for 20 years, Polly brought her spirit and kindness to the elections along with her special Cowboy Cookies! We will miss her smile, pleasant conversation and visits to our office, but are so very grateful for the time we shared with her.

Polly, thank you for blessing our lives. You are one of those rare and special people who enriched the lives of those you met by your indomitable spirit and loving heart. You are an extraordinary example for the world to follow. God bless you and God bless your family......

Finally the day has come..the one you waited for so long
A place a good-living Christian woman does belong.
There you'll stand a dream come true
Your son, your love, and you.

No more stories, no more laughs ,no more chats
The book is finished, nothing left to do so that's that.
A "Westborough Grande Dame" has left for a quieter berth
But not before leaving a huge legacy on this earth.

What we DO still have is the memory of this beautiful soul
Determined, set in her ways, eyes always on the goal.
Caring, smart, witty, honest, fun, one classy, country gal
How truly blessed I've been to count you as a pal.

How you loved your family & made it very clear
Each one special in their very own way or so that's what I'd hear.
But there was always Hal for whom your heart did forever yearn
Now you're reunited loves & the flame will forever burn...

Ah yes, I'll miss you Polly and the special brunches after church
But you haven't just walked off & left us standing in the lurch.
Oh no, you took the time to prepare us..assuring us you were very ready to go
The reasons why it would be good & anything else you thought we ought to know.

Still my heart is broken that I was not able to go and pay you the respect that was surely due
So I send you with what I do have...a poem, much respect, and special love you....
Luv' & Blessin's, Chris

Our deepest condolences. We had so much fun with your mother on our rides around the countryside.......Wright's Chicken Farm, Kimballs ice cream and lobster dinners at Barbers Crossing.
She will be missed,

Lenore, Mark and Holly, My condolences to you and your families on the passing of your Mom. I spent many fun hours at your house as a child and I spent many wonderful hours visiting with your Mom these past few years. My Golden Retriever 'Autumn Marie' and I used to go to see her and we had such a great time. Your Mom was a good listener, a good teacher AND a good friend.

She was blessed to have such a wonderful family. She said she wanted to die at home and you kids allowed that to happen.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless.

Marilyn (Mead) Leffler
