Not sure what to say?

Dear Jerry, Tracey, Colleen and Tegan,

I am so saddened to know that Tuss/your mother has left us. I have been thinking about her quite a bit these recent weeks and how much fun we had as kids on 48th Avenue. I distinctly remember her having the latest news about the on-goings surrounding our lives and that always seemed to be impressive to me. Moreover, I thought she brought our neighborhood together as a catalyst representing knowledge and fun. Your family is in my thoughts...

I am so sorry to hear about Phyllis' passing. We were friends at OLL and I have great memories about playing at her family house on 38th St. My prayers are with your family.

So sorry to hear about your mother! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! God bless you all!

Tuss was a force to be dealt with in the class of '65 at Mercy. Mysterious. Connected. Defining cool. Even in those saddle shoes and navy uniform. She made an indelible impression on me. She is gone much too soon.

Jerry and family, my deepest sympathies for the loss of Phyllis. I know you will find comfort in knowing she is in a much better place now.

What a lovely time she gave us while she was with us-let us all celebrate that we knew her!

We were shocked to find out about Phyllis. She did our taxes every year and always asked about our grown children, jobs and shared the news around town. She was a wonderful lady and our prayers are with you in this difficult time.

My dear friend, Jerry, and family,
Please accept our sypathy on the loss of your wife and mother...........Tuss is where we all desire to be.......she will welcome us all to peace in the Lord. My thoughts are with you, Jerry.
