Dear Becky, Lynn, and Bobby,
Remembering your beautiful Mom and the great times we had! We lost our Mom just last month, but she talked of Phyllis often. One thing both our Moms taught us was "good manners". Remember, "Hush, Honey, Hush", because it was rude to say "shut-up"! I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. In God's Love, JoAnn Durham Ellington
