Paul,
I have been in prayer with you and your family for quite awhile. Your Mother, like mine, loved God and was a fighter and lover of life. It was so obvious that she loved her family and that all of you loved her.I never had the opportunity to meet her here on earth, but I know she will be at the gate to greet all of us and welcome us with a hug. Know I love you and you and your family are in my heart and prayers.

Dear Joyce and Paul
I was deeply saddened to learn of your mother"s death. Phyllis and your dad were one of my earliest connections with ECC. She was always cheerful and dedicated to her work at the college within the many offices she was attached, including mine. She was a very gracious lady who will be missed. I am sorry that I am currently visiting my daughter and her family in California and will not be back in time to pay my respects in person. Phyllis remains in my thoughts. Again my deepest condolences to you both.
Sincerely,
Cat Lambe

Dear Joyce and Paul:
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your Mom.
To me, your mother represented elegance, compassion and true grace. She was always a lady in every sense of the word.
I am glad that my parents picked her to be my godmother, I would have picked her as well.

Dear Joyce & Paul, Your Mother was a dear friend of mine as I used to treat your Dad in my chiropractic office. After he passed, I'd always see your Mom in the laundramat and we'd talk about things. She was always a sweet and uplifting person. I am sorry to hear of her leaving us, but as one door closes another opens. My sympathies are with you.
Respectfully,
Jerry Mammoser, D.C.
