Trips of a lifetime: Man travels world with ashes of beloved friend - Austin 360
The soft singing of a hospice worker filled the room as she gently applied lotion to Polly’s fragile hands.
It was June 19, 2016, and Cody Butler sat next to Polly, having minutes before received a call to rush over to the Austin rehabilitation center Polly knew as home. It was time to say goodbye to a dear friend.
In Polly’s last moments, Butler and Butler’s husband, Jason Dolly, shared stories with a woman they didn’t know for too long. In fact, they knew little of her past. But what they did know was they were some of the only people Polly had in her life.
They told her, “Go with God,” and, “It will be OK,” and she lifted her head one last time with a smile. Her breathing slowly faded, and she was gone.
