To the Mancivalano and Maloney families
My condolences to you all.
No one can take the place of a devoted wife, mother, or grandmother, which Phyllis was.
Words can only bring slight comfort when your grief is so great. As the days pass and you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
