Thank you, Phyllis, for your kind words. Mom loved bridge club and all the fun they had on their trips. Sorry you couldn't make it, but I did meet your brother, Dick. Mom lived a long good life and I was lucky to have had her as long as I did!

Dear Linda and family:
I am Phyllis Meryhew's oldest daughter and have many wonderful memories of your Mom...especially on "bridge club" night. I always looked forward to seeing your Mom because I knew there would be good stories, jokes and lots of laughter. Who will ever forget the pictures of the trips your Mom, my Mom, Lois Cook and my Aunt Betty Heille made together!! I had lunch with your Mom about 10 years ago and she was just the same!! Unfortunately, I cannot attend the memorial service tomorrow but you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Pat (Meryhew) Polucha
