Polly always had a way of sharing her incredible strength and love with everyone around her. I spent many hours in her office talking and crying and laughing. I will miss her as a wonderful friend and coworker.And to her family…thank you for sharing her with us at the Longview News-Journal. There will always be a void in our office without her here.
Dear Family & Friends,Our sincere condolences for your tragic loss. Polly was a dear friend, and an outstanding coworker. It was truly a pleasure to be in her presence. We feel a loss as well as everyone she came into contact with does. God Bless you All."…and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Morrison family especially to my good friend Julie and her brother Phillip. I am so sorry for your loss. Polly was a special person and I got to know her from being friends with Julie and then going on to work with her at the News-Journal. She will be missed.
The world is a sadder place without Polly. May the Lord send his comfort and support to all her loved ones.

Holly was a long time co-worker and friend. She was loved and will be missed. I am very sorry for your loss.Jonah Fults
Polly was a uniquely beautiful person. We were fortunate to have her as a member of our family. Her loss is devastating to all of her family and all who knew her. She and my brother reared Julie and Phil to be the kind of adults all parents hope their children will become. She remained friends with her ex-husband and became close friends with his wife. Polly adored her dogs. Polly was a loving, caring person who is a real loss to this world.
Dear Julia and Phillip, We are so very sorry about your mom. She was always so nice when we lived across the street from you on Oakridge. We will remember your family in our prayers. Your friends, Lexi Bingham Mauk & (my mom) Ruth Kay
Julie& Phillip, I hope you both know how very proud your Mom was of the two of you and who you had become. Polly and I had worked together for 18 years and shared many memories about our children. I will miss seeing and shooting the bull with her. There was never a day that she wasn't laughing about something, whether it was a joke or prank she was trying to pull on someone. She had huge presence here and will be deeply missed by everyone. God bless you both..you are always in my mind and prayers.
