Irving & Family, Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you! Polly will be greatly missed by everybody. I will always remember the good old days when she came shopping at S & W. One day she came in with two different shoes on boy, what a time we had with her that day I still laugh out loud to myself when I think of that day! May God Bless You All

I extend my condolences to Mrs. Covell's family. During my freshman year at UNH (1966-1967), Candy was my Big Sister at Jessie Doe Hall. Inspired by Candy, I also became a Big Sister for the next 2 years, so I was able to spend even more time with Candy. During our time together, we made several trips to Groveton where we had wonderful times skiing behind the snow mobile through the fields and just "hanging out" Mrs. Covell was always the most kind and gracious hostess. She treated me like "family" by doing everything to make me feel welcome. I have very fond memories of this wonderful woman. May your memories help to console you during this very sad time. I am sure that Candy was right there to greet Mrs. Covell as she entered into God's Kingdom.

It makes me smile to think of Candy and Polly together again. When I worked at the local video store years ago, Polly once told me that when something flashed such as the time on her vcr, she would put a bandaid over it until someone came to visit that could help. No more flashing..lol...A smart woman came up with a smart idea. My husband and I frequented some of the favorite breakfast spots as she and Irving. Paul also as a kid hayed for the family and was treated very well. She will be missed.

To Polly's family.She was one of the greatest. She worked in Dinty Moore's Restaurant with my Mother and she also taught me how to hypnotize. That was one of the greatest laughs I ever had. Did that happen to anyone else? Sweet Polly, rest in peace.

I will like to send my condolences to the family of Mrs. Covell. I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. Keep the memories of her alive; this is great comforting aid. Also, remember that Jesus spoke of the resurrection hope at John 5:28 & 29. This can bring some comfort also. I will keep your family in my thoughts & prayers during these difficult days. Love,
