PHYLLIS L. ALLEN-SMILEY

As I sit here at my desk remembering your beautiful smile, your loving heart and your caring soul, I cry because tomorrow is Thanksgiving and life has NOT been the same without you. Family has separated, everyone is doing their own things. You truly were the anchor and the wheel that steered our family ship. You are so loved and so missed. You will NEVER EVER be forgotten. You will forever live on in my heart and thoughts. I love and miss you dearly Mommy. Rest up until we meet again

Mommy as I sit here 14 years later facing yet another great loss, I immediately think of you. You always knew what to say, you had the best comforting words and smile. Guess who passed on yesterday, my little sister Jodi... Yes Jodi mommy at this point I need you and wish you were here. I can´t believe she is gone. You know how tight her and I was, the many times we gave you and mommom Cat headaches because we stayed in trouble I can laugh now but I know we were pieces of work. I know that...

Hey Grandmom I came across this when I googled your name. I was on the phone tlkn to mommy well my mom your daughter and we miss you so much. I wish you could read these messages to you and I'm glad to have so many memories. Your great grands are so big and busy we will love u forever and thanks for raising us to be strong beautiful black women Love your second favorite because we all knew Princess Danville was ya num 1 lol

I miss you my Love. My Christmas's will never be the same without you. Alot of people are lost without you, but you still have Desi and Stephen that does unselfish acts for the Family. Keep smiling down on those two. I Love You & I am always thinking of you as if you were still here by my side..... Merry Christmas My Love.....

Your Husband Always,
Caz

When I returned to work yesterday I found out Phyllis had passed away. I am so profoundly sad although I know she is now an angel in heaven. It's so hard to walk past her desk; she was such a big help to me I don't know how I'll manage without her. Diane Rinier, ACIT
