Dear Phyllis, We were so shocked and saddened by your passing. We had 41 years together, and we had alot of great times, you , me, and Dad!! The one thing we are greatful about is that you did not suffer!! but yet we feel pain, because God took you so soon!! I will be thinking about you on Thanksgiving, when i have my Turkey, lol lol, you know what Turkey did to me, when we would go up North every fall, and i would always get the Turkey dinner!!lol lol, it was a big joke, and we used to laugh so much!! Then Dad and I would be singing "Al JOLSON" together, and you wanted to throw us out of the car, it was so funny!!! All the Holy Cross games we went to every Saturday, here and away for years!! and how Dad and I would fish, and you would just watch us..Remember when I scared you with the big eel I caught, and the times I would scare you with the night crawlers, ah those were the days!! We used to have so much fun!! At least I have great memories of you, and me, that will live in my heart forever !! I am happy that you are with Dad again, and your 2 beautiful children, Michael, and Scott. Phyll, you will certainly be missed, by us all !! All our Love,
Beany (MaryJean), Paul, and grandchildren, Christian and Sean XOXOXO

I, too, am in total shock. I no longer live in Worcester, but I am lucky that a friend from Worcester notified me of her passing. Phyllis and I were like sisters growing up. We lived in the same house for 30 years. I only hope she didn't suffer.
Now she is with her children. May they all rest in peace.
Good bye dear friend.
Luvya forever.
