When I was little we used to have a family Christmas dinner every year at my Aunt Dallie's home. Every year granny Searcy used to give each grandchild a Christmas gift usually socks and underwear for the girls and boys it was so special cause we just were there to be with each other and Aunt Polly never slowed down she was always this place and that making sure everybody had what they needed. She was always that way. We love you Aunt Polly and you surely will be missed.
