What a legacy of love my aunt Phyllis leaves on this earth - modeling and teaching Christ's love to her family! I'm glad I could attend the "Cousins Reunion" to touch base with her and some of your family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Praise God that our grieving is not without hope! My mom sends her love from Michigan.

As one of her 11 children, I feel like i had the best mom in the world. What sacrifice and love she showed us! She modeled a Christ centered marriage with dad for 50 years and taught us to love Jesus. She loved and prayed for us and each of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. So thankful to God for her and so happy she is in His presence now!. Love you and miss you mom!!!

Mom, We all love you. You had such a big heart for Dad and each of us. You loved every one of your kids and grandchildren and great grandchildren. You showed us the most important thing in life --to know Jesus Christ as our Savior. We rejoice that you are with Jesus. We thank God for giving us you and Dad. We shall miss you deeply.
