The Pollard family sends their sincere condolences to the Cahills. We did not know that Polly had passed away and are so sorry. Our dear parents thought the world of your dad and your mom as well as Polly. They so enjoyed the day at the lake that you hosted. They loved their Amvets crowd!! A couple of years ago when your dad agreed to be commander of Amvets - again, my dad was one of his officers and we were at the instillation-where else? At Harringtons. We so enjoyed our day with such a classy group of people. How sad for all of us that they are passing on. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
