Phyllis "Filis" Emery

So sorry I could not attend the service in Florida. Nevertheless, I think of you and pray for all the family regularly. I treasure the memories
- being there when you were born (by the way in Artesia, N.Mex - not Albuquerque) when your mom (my sister) came back home as your dad was in Korea
- enjoying your energy and creativity as a toddler
- sharing the times when you attended school in Buffalo,NY when staying with us as well as our camping trip to Montreal
- seeing you deal...

Filis...Now you are at peace. I am so sorry that you had to suffer for so long. You did not deserve that! I am also sorry that I did not come around more often, but you know I could not bear you to talk about the "death" thing. At least you are at peace now...........Skip, I am so very thankful that Filis had you! You have been so good to her. Last year when us girls met at the Olive Garden and you came to pick her up and I took a pic of you two in the car, that was a very good pic of the two...

We enjoyed the time we spent with Mrs. Emery. She will be greatly missed. Keep in touch with us Skip.

Love,

First of all my heart goes out to all her friends and family. I have known Phyllis for about 23 years. We use to work together at the Lennox Inn. She was a very sweet and carefree person. My sister Dena Kireta Jones has been very close to her for all these years. For several years Dena, Phyllis, Christie and myself use to get together at dinner and celebrate all our birthdays which are within a few days of each other. I have seen her many times over the years and she always had a big smile...

She called me by my name:

If I had to think of one word to describe my Aunt I couldn't. Three words come to mind though that encompase a lot of different meanings to diferent people, but here is what they mean to me.

The first would be Tough: You are probably thinking about a big scary looking biker or some kind of special forces commando, but that isn't what I mean. I mean that even though it hurt her she never gave up on any one or any thing. She would work herself to...

Skip, my heart and prayers are with you. Demery, Ezra, Michelle, Regan, and Alexis, I am praying for you. Words cannot express this empty feeling of missing my friend and sister. Her laughter and compassion will always be with me. I am here for you guys, please let me help if I can. Love, Cindy
