Aunt Polly was one of the sweetest women I have ever known. When I married into the Colca family she and Uncle Sam were so wonderful. Jerry, our children Janice Lucille and Stephen and I will miss her sweet smile and kindness.

I met Miss Polly when I worked at Central Bank many, many years ago. Her and Mr. Bertino worked hard to build Sam's Western Wear. Sweet lady that loved her God, her family and life. RIP Miss Polly and prayers to the family.

David and Diane - Please know that you have my deepest sympathy. Miss Polly and Mr. Sam were very dear to me during my childhood in Amelia. Later when I was in high school, I enjoyed spending time with them while dating Joe Rosetta. We had many good times at their home in Minglewood. All of you have created wonderful memories in my life for which I am grateful My prayers are with you * Candy Torrence Hollis
