    Hello Family: My deepest condolence to all of you and especially my brother Sherman, his mate of 36 years. . Polly is sleeping now. It will only be for a short time. According to the Bible John 5:28,29 all in the memorial tomb will her Jesus voice and come forth. Remember, Jesus dear friend Lazarus died and in John 11:11-14 Jesus said he was sleeping, and he assured us that he is the resurrection and the life in John 11:25. Family we have a wonderful hope of seeing Polly real soon in God’s New World. Now is the time to do as John 17:3 says – to take in knowledge of the only true God “Jehovah” and of his son Jesus Christ. My prayers are with all of you, especially my brother Sherman. KTM

    My sincerest condolences are extended to the family and friends of Gladys Lou Carter. I’ve known Polly over 50 years and never knew that her birth name was Gladys. We played together as kids and hung out as young adults and it never occurred to us that official government names mattered. Polly you will be missed by all that knew you. God rest your soul.
