I will miss your laughs, smiles & stories. Always enjoyed visiting you when I flew back home to Michigan to see my sister Bev & brother-in-law Paul. I know Paul is going to miss his big sister. I'll remember fondly when you & Billy came to my Mom's 90th. birthday party and how much fun you had. Heaven just received a beautiful angel. Love You Phyllis. We will miss you !! Mike & Janice Goodwin, Phoenix, AZ (Michigan will always be my home & heart)
