Again, I am so sorry. She will be missed.

  32. Gloria I am sorry to hear of the passing of your sister. My thoughts are with you at this time. Take Care…Bonnie

  33. I am sorry to hear of Phyllis’s passing. I have many fond memories of working with her at Hemeon’s during the summers while I attended University. We had lots of fun, and she was an incredible woman.

  34. Dear Brian & Phyllis; Greg & family,
    Add us to your list of those who are offering their sympathy to you at this time. Phyllis was one of those people who will be remem-
    bered fondly by the many people whose lives she touched – (as evidenced in all of the messages above ours) — during the years that she was here with us.
    She was a woman that you could be proud to call your sister or your Mother … (and it was obvious to all that she felt the same way toward each one of you!) as she would tell others “how good her family was to her.”
    Our love and prayers are with all of you as you go through this difficult time in your lives, but as time goes on let your grief turn to warm memories, for hers was a life well lived.

  35. Brian, Phyllis & family – We were very sorry to hear of Phyllis’ passing. Sincere condolances to you and Phyllis’ family.
