Hi folks, I would like to mark the passing of my husband's great-great Aunt Polly. Aunt Polly was the baby of 10 children ranging in birth from 1887 to 1907. She was a terrific lady who had a very strong sense of her Hancock heritage and she held some 5 generations of Hancocks together as family for 94 years. She was a tiny little lady who had definite opinions on the way things were supposed to be and one of her last requests was that the family continue on as it has in the past. This coming June will be the first time in 94 years that Aunt Polly will not be at the Hancock Reunion---but the rest of us will be there. Aunt Polly told us to.
