Even though we were not blood related, Polly was, is, and forever will be our "Big Sister". There are not enough adjectives in our English language to adequately describe the love we have for this beautiful lady.
May the peace and joy of our Lord be with the family today, tomorrow and always.

Good Bye my friend. It seems like just a few days ago we were in Randall's Food Market shopping for Snow crab legs. Polly was a Pharmacy school mate and later a fellow faculty member at Texas Southern University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. I will sorely miss her and our extended phone conversations. I extend my deepest condolences to her family and many friends.

I join those who are remembering our dear sister, Soror Polly. She chartered our chapter twenty-five years ago and we will always remember the flame she lit and the light she has left shining. One of her favorite quotes was "carry a heart that never hurts, carry a smile that never fades, carry a torch that never hurts". We remember and are challenged to carry on her good works in word and in deed as well as her memory on in our hearts. God bless you, Soror Polly.

Dearest Soror Polly,
Thank you for your tireless service to the community and your beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.

As a charter member, I am thankful to you and will always remember your spunky personality, humor, professionalism, timeless sense of fashion, and laughter! You are now flying among the angels. May God continue to bless your family in this time of sadness and reflection.
Always,
Soror Gigi Secuban

My condolences to the Turner family. I met Soror Turner when I served as Graduate Advisor to the Epsilon Phi Chapter on the campus of UA Little Rock. She was always so personable. It was great to serve during her administration. 💕💚
