I am VERY sorry about Polly. I know she was a great friend to you....Bridget

Debbie, called me this morning with this very sad news. My first beginning in conformation labradors was from Polly's Classique's Fire and Ice " Bernie " We went to many shows together (Debbie, Joni, and Susan) and always had tons of fun.

Sorry to hear of such a wonderful person go, but atleast she didn't suffer and was able to visit with friends and able to hit a couple more specialties... it was great to see her.

You will missed deeply, with thoughts of you at all the future specialties watching us all.

So sorry to hear the sad news.

Such terribly sad and upsetting news. A tragic loss to the world of labradors and the world at large.

We send all our love, prayers and good wishes to Polly's family and her Friends.

This is such a loss.

Godspeed to you Polly - we will always cherish our memories and friendship.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that, I am going to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.
Where (I) am going you know the way.
Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?"
Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14: 1-6

Polly was always Encouraging with kind and thoughtful words and that humble smile. Debbie thanks for having Me and Joan over it was incredible to see her Smile in the mist of her Battle. Blessings to the Burkhardts and all who knew her.

J Saldana,

I am glad she passed peacefully, she will be missed. Our prayers are with you and Polly's family. Thank you for being there for her. Susan

My deepest condolences to Polly's family and to you Debbie.

I met Polly and "Jesse"the same day over 20 years ago. Together they hooked me on Lab love forever. Now I see her hugging his big old yellow neck and grinning sitting on the rainbow bridge. And that beats a National Specialty win any day. I know we will all miss her. Debbie my heart is with you too.
