I will always remember how nice John & Phyllis were to me as a boy of 16 working in their machine Shop in Cambridge Mass. Phyllis's happy smile and her fun listening to the old County Western music on her radio beside here bench.

She was my only Aunt, and when I was small I called her "Aunt Fo" because I coudn't say Phyllis. I am so glad I got to see her this past fall when I was in N.H. She was the last of her generation of family and friends to pass away. Now they are all together. Love, Betty
