Our Dear Mrs. Polansky, ‘Martha.’
As neighbors we shared several decades of friendship. What fun it was to share home cooked meals, recipes, gardening, joy, laughter, life, but most touching of all was a strong sense of kinship that united us in a special way.
VICHNAYA PAMYAT our dear Martha! Deepest condolences to Dan, David & families. Linda, Lana & family.
We hold many fond memories of Aunt Martha. Both Uncle Bill & Aunt Martha meant a lot to us, and we will always remember them and will miss her.
Her rum balls are still the best! and her recipe is used every year.
God Bless!
