Jackie, Denise, And all the grandchildren,
I am sorry to have heard of your mother and grandmothers passing. I didn't find out until Wednesday morning. I really didn't get to really know your mother but from what I knew of her, she was always a sweet, person towards me and my family. Remember all the wonderful memories that you will have, to stay with you forever. She is at peace and is sitting with God and no longer suffering. She will always be with you. When you think of her is when she is with you the most. Take comfort in the fact that you have another angel watching over you all. From Adele and family

As the oldest in the family and the only Niece what I remember about my Aunt Phyllis is her blonde hair, her cautious smile, her gentle hands, and her great legs. Each of these attributes has a hidden story. My Aunt’s hair was as in place hairspray was her friend, golden locks was some thing we shared, although my hair is no longer blonde my Aunt’s will always be. My Aunt’s smile though some time rare could warm the souls of those she loved. My Aunt’s hands she loved to use them to bake or cook. She made the best bake beans and amazing cheese cake. She also used those hands to play cards games with my brothers and me “Pinochle”. I saved the best for last my Aunt’s legs, she had legs and she knew how to use them. My Aunt love to Polka, she could do the Polka faster then any one I know. Although, I never learn to Polka, I loved to watch my Aunt speed around the dance floor few could keep up with her. For those she has left behind remember her in your own way and take comfort in knowing she is watching over all us. Heaven has new angel, she may not have wings but she sure does have legs. Save a dance for us!!!

Love you Auntie,
Sandra

Dear Barb & Leonard,

Leonard, my deepest sympathy on the passing of your twin sister, Phyllis and Barb, your sister in law. I know, Leonard, how close you were throughout your lives. We go way back when your sister attended my sister's wedding. My sister just phoned me now to tell me this sad news. May you always hold the good memories of Phyllis in your heart. She is a peace now.

To my Baby Sister:
I have always loved you. There have been times when we did not see each other. The last few months we were able to be close and show each other our love. I was grateful you were able to meet God so peacefully.

What do I remember about Aunt Phyllis? The fondest memories I can share are the many many Sundays spent together as a family. To have been able to laugh and enjoy all of my Aunts, Uncles and cousins was unforgettable. I am grateful to have had an Aunt who was so caring and loving as my Aunt Phyllis. I hope that she will bring the same joy to our family members up in heaven.

God bless and love forever.

Denise, Jackie and children,

I just wanted to express my sadness with regards to the loss of your mom. As I said Friday night. Aunt Phillis is at peace in heaven. As God as promised, there is no suffering in heaven. Find strength in God's words and lean on him in this difficult time.

It is often through great sadness that God's work is done. We on earth may not be able to understand his ways, but be assured they are all according to his plan.

Turn to God at this time of need. He says that will make our yoke easy and our burden light. Pray and ask for his strength and he will help you find peace.

Your mom was able to see you and all of your children grow and be a major part of their lives. Your children have been blessed to have the time with their Grandmother.

She we certainly be watching them in heaven.

Please keep me up to date with what is going on. Use my email since I travel all the time.

Love cousin Joe
